Actual IE
I recently switched my IE testing setup to VIrtualBox and Images provided by MS instead of IETest. While I like IETest I would much rather use the actual rendering engine.
What I end up with is a separate image for each version of IE (I know it's not the most optimal).
Instructions for setting this up are at http://shapeshed.com/journal/testing_with_ie6_ie7_...
Hope this helps.

I use three separate
I use three separate Parallels images, one with IE6 and Chrome, one with IE7, one with Ubuntu. It's painful and I have to edit the Windows hosts files to point to my Parallels host IP address to get to my virtual hosts in the Mac environment. Sounds like there might be a better way. Recently I've just started hitting the dev sites with Windows computers.
I develop on a Mac and (due to "company" policy) have to support IE6+.
I've used Windows 7 running VirtualBox (latest upgrade) and IETest.
Recently, the IE6 version in IETest has caused it to crash upon launch (7 & 8 run just fine).
Has anyone else experienced this? Suggestions? Any ideas of this is a virtualization problem or an IETest problem?
