I'm running Parallels Desktop on my Mac and then using Windows XP. I only use it for testing sites to make sure they work cross-browser and cross-platform.

I currently have IE6 but would also like to install IE7 for testing... Is there any way of doing this without it removing IE6 at the same time?

If not, are the any clever little things I can do to run both?

In parallels you can clone an image and then just upgrade one of the images. You don't even need to reactivate the windows in it. You can (provided you have enough power (mostly RAM) in the mac) even run multiple images at the same time. If you run concurrent images, only one of the images will be able to use cohesion and peripherals like DVD dives etc.
