There was recent talk on this list of using MultipleIEs for that sort of thing, but I seem to remember some issue with MultipleIEs not playing nicely with IE8. For my cross-browser testing, I use IE Collection, available here: http://finalbuilds.edskes.net/iecollection.htm . For users of Win XP, Vista, or 7, it allows you to simultaneously have installed standalone versions of all versions of IE from 1.5 through 8.0 (and a subset of those versions for other flavors of Windows. There's a compatibility chart on the website). I have had no problems with it so far.
