Simply head over to

You can install multiple instances (versions) of the same browser by virtualizing your system. Install VirtualBox which is free, then install your system within it and a given browser version. You can run multiple virtual systems concurrently, depending on your system memory, to see how pages are rendered in various browsers at the same time.

Excellent tip with the exception that this service doesn't support Firefox previews now, it only supports Internet Explorer 5.5 up to IE9 now. Good tip thou.

This is even more useful when you cannot install two or more versions of Internet Explorer on the same computer.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Quickly preview your sites without the need of installing various versions of the same browser.
