I didn't think you could install different versions of IE on the same
machine though, so wouldn't you need as a minimum multiple partions for each
O/S x each version of IE to achieve that? That would take a fair time to
setup and configure!

They seem to offer free accounts as well based upon a lower machine
availability priority.
