Browser lab is exactly that, a hosted browser testing lab that allows you to cross compare your website in a number of different common browsers. Sadly, in this beta it's a pretty short list, but it does include FireFox 3 (rendered by either Windows XP or OS X) IE 6 and 7 (Windows XP) and Safari (OS X).
Not the most robust list I could hope for, but hey, it;s in Beta and it's currently FREE! I like free.
This totally saved my tail this weekend as I had to fix an IE 6 issue in a mess of a CSS/Table hybrid/frankenstein site and I no longer have a copy of IE 6 installed anywhere on any of the 7 computers I have at home... Yeah, I only have 7 computers now...
Once again, thank you Adobe!

UPDATE:
One of my co-workers (Derek) found this gem on Microsoft's website. It's a virtual machine you can run that creates a WinXP SP3 instance with a real copy of IE 6 installed on it!
