I use IETester from here http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage to test my websites with IE6/7/8/9 ... IE6 always requires workarounds and fixes but once you get to know what works and what doesnt it's usually not that much off an hassle. I usually spend minutes and not days to get things working across all IE versions - small price to pay to support that 10% of population that is still using old outdated browsers.
The only thing I loathe about supporting the very old IE6 is that it can't display transparent PNG files - there are workarounds, but they don't work if you use CSS background sprite techniques (I am a big fan of minimizing web-requests to speeds up things).
