(This list will grow over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out...)
=============
The Internet Explorer Collection package contains the following versions of InternetExploder.
- Internet Explorer 1.0 (4.40.308)
- Internet Explorer 1.5 (0.1.0.10)
- Internet Explorer 2.01 (2.01.046)
- Internet Explorer 3.0 (3.0.1152)
- Internet Explorer 3.01 (3.01.2723)
- Internet Explorer 3.03 (3.03.2925)
- Internet Explorer 4.01 (4.72.3110.0)
- Internet Explorer 5.01 (5.00.3314.2100)
- Internet Explorer 5.5 (5.51.4807.2300)
- Internet Explorer 6.0 (6.00.2800.1106)
- Internet Explorer 6.0 (6.00.2900.2180)
- Internet Explorer 7.0 (7.00.5730.13)
- Internet Explorer 8.0 (8.00.6001.18702)
Once you install it, you will find shortcuts on your desktop for each of the versions you chose to install.
I have tested v6.00.2800.1106 and it crashed but v6.00.2900.2180 worked just fine.
So, if you are writing apps for people who like punishment or who work for corporates that simply don't want to change, this is one great tool to test your apps with.

In a previous article, I had listed a number of ways you can do some cross-browser testing.
Since then, I have come across a few more that I thought you may find useful.
- Free- BrowserShots.org still is my favourite, when it comes to the number of browsers covered. You can also selected whether you want javascript on, the colour depth, Flash version etc.
Note: A $15/month version gives you priority processing.
- Free- NetRenderer mostly does IE5.5-8.
- Free- Spoon (previously Xenocode) offer an interesting twist to cross-browser testing. Instead of screen-shots, they offer a range of browsers that have been, in effect, virtualised and wrapped up in a single EXE.
As a matter of fact, for a little while at at the start, they did offer those EXEs for download. Alas, they have now made it so you download a plugin instead which takes care of the 'EXE' you run.
Nonetheless, the whole thing is done quite nicely. They offer the following browsers: Internet Exploder 6-8, Firefox 2-3.5, Safari 3-4, Chrome, Opera 9-10.
Note: Just to make sure this detail is not missed:
You can run IE6 and IE7 and IE8 at the same time on the one PC.
- NOT free- crossbrowsertesting.com covers the following browsers.
This is a paid service, starting from $19.95 for 150 minutes per month.

- NOT free- BrowserCam is another screenshot service that covers quite a number of browsers, as shown below. While I am only concentrating on the PC browser aspect of this service, they do offer captures for iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windozzzze mobile. They also do email capture.
