That's why it become virtually impossible to test in both version of IE (meanwhile, there's no dramantic styling difference between FF2 and FF3, so it's understandable if one doesn't have both version). I also use the Multiple-IE that Baz mentioned. I believe not too many developers have equip their computer with multi version browsers (FF2, FF6, IE6, IE7).

Sometimes, they act a bit weird (especially IE 5.0, but I never open that anymore anyway) with things like Java and Flash sometimes, but they do very well to give you a nice basic layout of what your website is going to look like.

I used to keep IE6 on one of my laptops ONLY for that reason... Now that I have upgraded last computer - there is no way for me to check any new designs in IE6. It has been quite a few years since Microsoft released IE7 and if people are using internet - it makes all sense in the world to upgrade your browser...
