having IE6 and IE7 on the same machine

[liketofindoutwhy]

Nowadays webpages are usually tested on IE 7, IE 6, Firefox 2, and
Safari... however, IE 6 and IE 7 usually cannot co-exist on the same
machine, and so many developer will need to use a Virtual machine and
that takes a lot of memory.

Is there a way that the IE6 can be put on the same machine as IE7?
Maybe MS can spend a couple days to make a version that can do that?
Or any one knows how to do that? Thanks very much!

Hi,

Its' still in beta, but try IETester -

IMO virtual machines are better, but then I have a full kit.
