Hey, I'd like to know how I could get IE 6&7 both? I would like to keep IE6 for testing but I don't want to get rid of IE7, and visa versa.

How do you test your applications on all these browser versions?

"Testing" in this context has nothing to do with Unit Tests, which is what the Testing forum is for. Therefore this is moved to Client-side.

Multiple computers and/or virtual machines. You generally need to test various operating systems and settings anyways.

Doesn't give you interactive access, but it is useful for checking layouts.

As long as you use standards it shouldn't be a big issue. If you're serious about testing, a VM would be a good next step. You can double up on some browsers based on the rendering engine. Konquerer == Safari, if I'm not mistaken.

They should make a program that has most popular web rendering engines, that you can test and debug your websites with.

Firebugs good, but only if there was a bugExplorer. You know?

You can install multiple versions. Install IE7 with your regular IE updates, and then install one of the standalone s for the other ones:
