After looking many times, and generally finding Microsoft particularly unhelpful... I have finally found someone that seems to have built a great set of Internet Explorer Standalones!
What does this mean?
Well, when developing web sites we need to do browser testing because different browsers sometimes render pages incorrectly (Firefox renders things correctly, and is highly recommended). However, nearly all the problems in this area exist with Windows Internet Explorer and particularly between versions 6, 7 and now 8. But when it comes to testing and checking Microsoft won't let you install more than one version on a PC - install 7 and it replaces 6 etc.! not helpful.
For a while we have used the Tredosoft Multile IEs solution which has been pretty good but there are a few minor issues with it that have led to me not fully trusting certain things. Today though I found an alternative that, on the face of it appears to do what it says on the tin!
If this is of interest try out Final Builds - Internet Explorer Collection - it even has the Web Developer Bar built in - great!
Well worth a try. Am interested to hear of any other web developers, designers and programmers have experience of it and if you've found any quirks when browser testing.

"Firefox renders things correctly" - I recently had a firefox only printing problem. But it is the exception that proves the rule :)
