IETester: an all-in-one Internet Explorer testing suite
It seems as if someone has finally cracked the problem of running multiple standalone versions of Internet Explorer under Vista.
IETester is a web browser that can run the IE5.5, IE6, IE7, and IE8.1beta rendering engines in the same process. It has a tabbed interface which makes switching between different IE versions a snap, and although it is only an alpha release it seems to work fairly well.
Personally, I’m still a fan of running IE6 in VirtualPC, using the virtual machine provided by Microsoft specifically for this purpose. No quirks or bugs, just the real IE6 running within a real Windows XP installation. But if for some reason you can’t or won’t run VPC, IETester provides a workable approach to testing in IE6 & 7 side-by-side.

Looks good.
Will have to download and have a look.
For me I want a simple solution without having to run a virtual PC or have an extra browser.
Thanks for the information

I like the VirtualPC better, except that the one Vista PC we have here, is running Vista Home Basic. Unfortunately, you need at least Vista Business to run VirtualPC. So this is a pretty nice solution.
