Well, I don't. I have FC4 on my workstation and plan on upgrading it  
to FC5 soon after it's released. However I have couple of servers  
running FC2 and FC3, though no 'spare machines' for testing. If I  
could QA legacy packages on my workstation using some sort of VM  
solution (which wouldn't take a rocket scientist to setup) I'd be  
happy to help.
