It's a (free) package that has IE 3, 4.01, 5.01, 5.55 & 6 all bundled together. All you need to do is download it and run it like any normal .exe, and hey presto, you have the full set of IE releases all working side by side on the same PC in less than 5 minutes! (And yes, it works with IE7)

For those who develop under Linux, ies4linux[1] provides similar functionality, although it does not go back to the more ancient (3,4) versions. This uses Wine for the emulation layer, but looks after all the downloads and configuration. It should be noted that ies4linux does not provide a "genuine" IE7 - it runs (somehow) the IE7 rendering engine inside IE6. This means that one loses some functionality - tabs, RSS reader, but nothing that would impact on its usefulness for validating Web content on multiple user agents.
Please note, for those running such systems on a non-Microsoft plaform, one MUST have a valid Windows (95+, I believe) to run IE legally.
For me, this solves the problem of having to have a dual-boot machine or, even worse, a separate one just running Windows.
