Multiple Internet Explorer version browser testing (Internet Explorer 6-8)?

Question

One of the best applications I've ever had the privelege of using was Tredosoft's MultipleIE application.

However, now that I'm using Windows 7, and that application was never ported to Windows 7, there does not appear to be a similar installable product available for testing pages in multiple versions of Internet Explorer.

Then along came Spoon.

However, they've pulled their Internet Explorer sandbox emulator due to a Microsoft cease and desist (WTF?)

So how do I test my web page designs in Internet Explorer 7 (I have Internet Explorer 8 installed), preferably via localhost?

Spoon seems back in the game (February 2014) with IE browsers — Adriano, Feb 07 '14 at 17:52

Thanks Kishan, do you know if I can test from localhost with that app? – Scott B Dec 16 '10 at 21:04
you will find web browsers inside those, so simply type localhost urls.it will run perfectly... – Kishan Gajjar Dec 16 '10 at 21:05

You might want to check out Microsoft Expression Web 4's SuperPreview: http://expression.microsoft.com/en-us/dd565874.aspx

It should let you test locally IE6-9, including compatibility modes. It also supports other browsers you might have installed locally and has a beta for remote browsers.
