how can i test my website with ie6

i worked on a website in the latest firefox and then presented it on a machine that just had ie6 (and it looked horrible). is there anyway i can test what it will look like in IE6 without having to actually download. I see that ie8 has a compatibility mode (to show what it would look like in ie7), is there a similar thing for ie 6?

Get Microsoft Virtual PC (it's free). You can download images with IE6, IE7, and IE8 for all your wtf-microsoft! debugging needs.

Also, don't trust IE8 compatibility mode.
