My two cents:
The browser set up choice really depends on your needs. For example:
I'm running Win XP on my main work machine and have upgraded to version
7 as my main IE install. I downloaded the IE6 standalone (eolas
version) and set it aside for simple testing. I'm fortunate enough that
I'm mostly aware of IE6's classic rendering issues and how to
avoid/correct them. That frees me up to explore some of the greater
issues I'm currently fiddling with in IE7 (a few rendering issues upon
zooming in and out etc).
For those fairly new to CSS layout techniques, I'd wait on IE7 and
really dig in and learn about the IE6 bugs and how to deal with them.
Alternate stylesheets for IE really make it easy when dealing with
heights and widths, 3 pixel spaces etc). IE7 isn't going to become the
predominant version used for quite some time, so don't believe for a
moment that you can ignore IE6.
IE7 is quite reliable at rendering layouts correctly. It looks nearly
identical to its brethren. I sometimes forget which browser I'm using
(comparing to Firefox 1.5). I only realize where I am when going to use
a keyboard shortcut to validate my page for remove styles or something
and nothing happens.
