I was recently requested by my client to help fix a bug happening in I.E 6. I can't remember when on earth I last used I.E 6 and why this customer is so skeptical about this old nasty browser. But the truth is I have to fix it. My Windows now is a neat 64 Bit Windows 7 which doesn’t even knew there existed a browser called I.E 6.
I was looking for Emulators online and came across this stuff from Microsoft - Microsoft Expression SuperPreview. I downloaded, installed and played with it while I fixed the bug.
It's a good tool with some features of firebug. The difference being this displays the page layout as it is in a particular browser version, and can open two frames of two different browser versions and show the comparison I tried it and seems very helpful.
On the dark side sessions cannot be configured so for checking UI issues of Session enabled pages – I had to save as webpage complete and then open that file.

Some cool Features:
• Multi browsers Firefox xx , IE (6, 7, 8)
• Compare in two browsers simultaneously
• Dom related checks available
• Can set screen resolutions
• Configure more browsers like chrome/Safari etc.
Drawbacks (I didn’t explore, could be wrong)
• No JavaScript Checks
• Session pages cannot be tested live
