I understand where you're coming from, but I need to support a broader user-base for my software.
I have two virtual machines on my main PC with XP and Vista installed, and a separate Macbook Pro, so that I can cross-check compatibility between IE6 XP, IE7 XP, IE7 Vista, FF2, FF3, Opera, Safari Win, Safari Mac, FF Mac and Chrome. The javascript is occasionally an issue, but complex CSS-based layouts can be a pain. At this point my production flow is grooved in enough that I rarely have issues.

I was just going to ask if there even is a half way decent debugger for IE. Windows is so unwieldy when it comes to debugging (but that may just be me, as using Windows is a pain for me and I only do when there's absolutely no way around it...) Personally I write my stuff for Firefox (or better "standards compliant" - where firefox has it's issues every now and then, but far less than IE). Once all that works I start to degrade it to IE7. On all websites where I can make the decision (non-client websites), I don't even support IE6. Hey, if you use that old piece of crap you don't deserve visiting my website. The only thing I do for those guys is give them the download links to IE7, FF,Safari or Chrome.
