In Linux, it is simple to install and run multiple versions of IE concurrently. You can get an icon for each version of IE on your desktop, and you can get simple cli commands like ie5, ie5, etc, to start the browser from the command line. You can google to find out how to install ie for your linux distribution. On a linux host, you can run other browsers as well. When the different versions of IE are behaving so strange, i can't understand why the developers will waste time on making special websites for such mess. As a user, it is terrible, to visit sites that are made especially for any strange browser like IE. Isn't it better to concentrate on making systems that works for standard browsers? Opera are proud of following the standards. The html layout engine for KDE and Konqueror, is copied and used by different browsers, and many powerfull organizations have now merged there work together in the Webkit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webkit It sounds complicated to use virtual machines to test different versions of IE.
