Re. multiple versions of IE on a single windows installation, check out <http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE>. Here you can get an all-in-one installer that will install a variety of IE standalone versions (right through from 3-6, with both 5 and 5.5). They are not 100% rock solid but they are certainly good enough for testing pages IMO. (One bug, for example, is that trying to drag a URL from the address bar to the desktop to create a shortcut will crash the app). The main advantage is that you can have 5 or more different versions of IE running simultaneously, from the stone age versions up to and including IE7 (IE7 isn't part of the all-in-one installer, though).
And, as a mac user, I've got it installed under Virtual PC -- so you other mac jockeys can take advantage of it also.
