I've got IE7 on my Windows desktop, but I'm leaving IE6 on my laptop for as long as possible, so I can easily test with both versions. There are various standalone IE6 installers out there, but I haven't tried them. I have used standalone versions of IE5 and IE5.5 for testing purposes in the past.

I'm using the transitional doctype atm, I really want to move over to the strict doctype, I know I should as i've removed all none semantic tags. Have you tried 7 yet? Can it be installed alongside older IE? It would be nice to still have the more utilised version purely for development testing. I’ve not dared try it yet!

If you're like me try and to write valid XHTML with CSS layout, expect a few quirks here and there. Apparently ‘Quirks Mode’ is unchanged from IE6, so if you don’t declare a doctype you’ll be fine.
