Is it possible to view my web site in IE7, on my desktop which currently has IE8?
IETester (though it is a little glitchy), a virtual machine image, or browsershots.org
My DebugBar | IETester / Browser Compatibility Check for Internet Explorer Versions from 5.5 to 10
There’s also an option in IE8 to view websites in IE7 mode, though it’s not completely reliable, from what I hear.

It has worked well for me so far, for my limited usage, although I’m only using it to test a basic stylesheet for IE7 and lower. I’ve started using the IE meta tag, but I found that the display can still be altered by setting the version number in the tag. Without the tag, the compatibility button appears in IE8 (except when viewing locally).
