I say that friday that IE8 was released so I downloaded it to check
it out.
I am happy that they did seemed to do at least a few right right
and it seem
very easy to test for IE8 and IE7 in the IE8 browser (which is very
nice).
However, after i installed IE8, Multiple IE stopped render
correctly (I use
Multiple IE to test for IE6 and this is only at work since I have
yet to
find a way to run IE6 on Vista at home). Do you guys have any tips/
tricks
for properly test IE8/7/6 On Vista and XP? I am almost at the
point where I
want to drop support for IE6 on my own javascript plug-ins because
it is
utterly retarded to have to main code that works on 3 separate
version of
the same browser (come on IE6 is over 8 years old, FireFox 1 wass
released
after IE6 and no one officially supports that).
There's SuperPreview from Microsoft:

cross-browser-testing/
I think it only does IE6 and the IE you have installed on your
machine. IE8 also has backwards-compatibility mode, which supposedly
goes into IE7 rendering mode, although in my experience it renders it
more like IE6.
P.S.: My company no longer supports IE6, unless the customer is OK
with paying 30% extra development time. It's the easiest solution for
us ;-)
