standalone browers

Right, as some of you might know, and some of you *will* know now, Microsoft is *pushing* out IE 7 sometime this month in the updates. if you do *not* want this update, don't download it.
However if you want IE7 (or have had IE7 pushed into your system already) but have a few apps that will only run on IE 6, you can download a standalone version . the NT versions ( ie6eolas_nt.zip is ie6, but you have the option of installing an older version if you wish, they run independantly of each other so you can see how craptastic your site looks on IE1)

personally i haven't decided if i will upgrade, (with all of TWO websites needing IE for me, MSDN, and my bank, and i'm not 100% positive if my bank will work on IE7)
