You can't imagine how frustrated you can get for trying to make IE 6 to obey the rules! Especially in CSS! Anywho, Leonid, there's a way to run IE6 and IE7 together on the same machine. There's a standalone version of IE7 that lucks of some minimum functionality but it helps ! If your guys want to test it out check http://tredosoft.com/IE7_standalone . This way they won't bother using your linux machine. Leave that for more important tasks :P Well, I’m dealing with these little ’surprises’ for a while now!

Testing web sites in all major browsers is pretty much a requirement. Unfortunately, MSIE 6 + Firefox/Opera is not enough. There are some differences between MSIE6 and MSIE7 rendering which are not shown in Firefox/Opera. I work for a web design company.

It took 2 tries to start it up at all, and even when it did it immediately crashed due to a coding error in MSN.com. Needless to say, I went straight back to my comfortable old Firefox (and Opera and Konqueror and Safari and Flock...and anything but IE!) My first experience with IE7 was bad.
