Older Browser Render Simulation
I read somewhere about a program that will simulate a rendering of a webpage in almost any version of any browser but I can't remember where I read it or what the program was called. Anyone know?

What you'll likely really want is to test the functionality of your site in each browser... screenshots only go so far.
I personally have working, portable IE versions 5.5, 5.01, 4.01 and 3 to test on, as well as IE 6, 7, Firefox (covers all current geckos), and Opera. The only big one I miss out on is Safari, but good coding practices go a long way. I will sometimes boot PearPC to test in Safari, albeit fairly slowly.

That's absolutely true.
For IE versions: http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE and http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone
Most other browsers can be run next to each other without problems.

Thanks for the link matthijs, I couldn't remember where I got them!
Another fine resource, if you prefer to keep IE 6 installed but still want to test IE 7 (also from tredsoft):
