I also saw layout strangeness when I tried Multiple IE a few years ago. Perhaps naively I assumed that if people were still using it then that might have been improved upon. <div><br></div><div>I admittedly don't tend to test IE all that thoroughly but I've since used IE tester and found that sufficient for basic testing.

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).<br>
<br>
Suffice to say, it rendered the whole exercise a little pointless if I couldn't rely on it to catch my bugs.<br>

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.<br>
