Multiple IEs
When you’re building a website, it’s important to ensure it looks good in a variety of browsers. I’m currently working on a site at the moment and I wanted to see how it looked in Internet Explorer 6. The only problem is that my computer now runs Internet Explorer 8.
I found a useful tool called MultipleIEs which allows you to run standalone versions of Internet Explorer 6 and it’s predecessors.
Might be a good thing for web designers to have!

One could completely disregard internet explorer and push the adoption of better browsers to make IE go away completely thus negating the need to code for that peice of crap.
Or spend time, energy, blood sweat and tears working around the bugs, extending the time it takes to complete the project just because some idiot is too stupid/stuck in their ways to upgrade.

In all fairness, newer versions of IE are much better at rendering web pages. Well, except when the beta version of IE8 broke the Hotmail site.
Anyway, sorting out browser compatibility is all part of the challenge. Great when it all comes together. Bloody stressful when it doesn’t
