Bob....

Not sure if someone has mentioned this or not, but Developer Tools built 
into IE 8 do a really good job of "dumbing down" IE 8 to IE 7. I've been 
able to use the Developer Tools to see every "quirk" reported by my 
clients using IE 7 and fix accordingly.

Developer Tools is the poor man's Firebug, but it's much better than a 
sharp stick in the eye. :-)
