A couple of alternatives include the web browser Lunascape http://www.lunascape.tv/ – it contains 3 rendering engines and the software Multiple IEs from Tredosoft http://tredosoft.com/downloads

However, I gave it a go and tested it, the results of which can be seen here: Test Results

IETester’s rendering was identical to the original. (Taking different resolutions into account and the limitation of browsershots).

I’m very happy with it and I have replaced all my virtual machines with one instance of IETester.

Conclusion: Very nice and reliable tool. Except for the known bugs i could not find any differences between the rendering of the real browsers and IEtester. Two thumbs up :-)

If you or your team are creating/working on websites and you don’t have a separate machine just for testing IE then you fail.

And you need the original IE. The one your users will be using. Not some adulterated version tweaked for testing.

I’m not knocking IEtester or netrender or whatever for casual use, but if you’re a professional there is no excuse.

I can’t stand testing old IE versions, and using browsershots or a VM is a pain. This looks pretty promising.
