Hi everyone. I searched the forum and couldn't find anywhere that suggested a usefull tool to test your sites on all of the current and old ie versions.

I use a very handy tool called ie tester

If you don't know about it already then you should check it out. Windows only I'm afraid.

just gave browsershots a go - i used it years ago but had to wait hours for results which sometimes didn't even work... it's greatly improved now although still seemed to have a few bugs - i just got a white page on ff3 for a site i know works perfectly on the browser... :-S

Only problem with browsershots is that it doesn't demonstrate the interaction and behaviour of a webpage as it's simply a screenshot. IE Tester does at least allow you to interact with the website and see what works/what doesn't functionally as well as visually.

An article about this written today:

Multiple IE Testing on the Fly!

I think it's and excellent idea - open 3 tabs all rendering it as per each browser. And you can simply refresh it on the fly. I think that in it's self makes it a great piece of software that I will be keeping on my top 10 list for a while.
