Use a virtual machine and maintain a separate installation of Windows in it.

Microsoft provide images for this purpose.

You may want to try out the Expression Web SuperPreview, which is a free download from Microsoft and allows comparison of sites between IE6, 7 and 8.

A tutorial on how to use it can be found here: http://any-expression.com/expression-web/v3-tutorials/superpreview.html

    It's worth pointing out that SP compares sites *visually*, but does not run any javascript. It's basically an image comparison with some metadata for the elements' bounding boxes. – Richard Szalay Oct 03 '10 at 17:34

Similar to the Virtual Machine answer, if you have Windows 7, you can use the XP Mode to run IE7.

Using Windows 7’s “XP Mode” to run IE 6, IE 7 and IE8 side-by-side

    As long as you have Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate. If you have Home, it's still possible to run Virtual PC 2007 (although Win 7 Home is not in the list of compatible operating systems.) – rlovtang Oct 03 '10 at 18:19

You might want to try IE Collection, which allows you to install lots of different versions of IE in parallel and is available here.

Also, creating virtual machines can be a good idea if you want to set up specific scenarios. If you do this, remember to turn off auto-update on the VMs, or you might find that your IE6 VM has upgraded itself to IE8.
