I have that at work, but use the bative browsers. The problem is really only 
with the different versions of IE as Microsoft always only allows to have one 
version installed. But there is a trick for that: DLL redirection. Get the 
tool from TredoSoft (http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE) and install that. It 
works quite well, just that the different IE versions crash even more often 
than they already do.
Firefox versions live happily next to each other when you install them into 
different directories. The same applies to Opera. I also have the latest 
Netscape version on the system (although that is no longer offered or 
supported, AOL has its own browser based on IE, but ironically recommends that 
Netscape users switch over to FF). Safari and Chrome round it off, which each 
display web pages differently although they use the same rendering engine 
(WebKit).

And that all will not do a thing as the user can use a local style sheet to 
override whatever your style sheet defined.

HTH,

David
