>> On Windows, you might want to avail yourself of MultipleIE:

> I've been burned in the past by Multiple_IE behaving differently to the various versions of IE installed, from memory there were some edge cases where things that should have been broken in an old IE version mysteriously worked (which made me think an underlying DLL had been upgraded and thus it didn't represent a true IE5/6 setup any more).

Agreed... One thing if you really want to use multiple IE - It doesn't 
support cookies!  I once wasted 3 days on a project trying to find out 
why a cookie wasn't being set correctly in IE6 only to find that it was 
being set correctly in IE6.
