Barry, I do use Linux and have Wine and Virtual Box installed. This allows me to run a browser that emulates IE6 and IE6 and FF in a windows os on a partitioned drive. But that is limited because I can't access IE 7 and 8. Windows is the problem child for me so must rely on IE6 and sites like Browser Shots. Even Browser Shots have their limitations. You can't select an os/browser combo. Selecting, for example, IE7, may show test results from several os' or not. So I want more finite control. I know a site exists that list the info I seek. I found at least one such site in the past but can't find the bookmark. I am also considering paying for such service online. There are sites that will allow access via images and virtual desk tops as well as mobile. I am still checking out such sites for prices and functionality. By the way, I am putting a list together of IE os/combos from the replies to my message. Thanks all.
