Browser Testing
20Mar08
I use two tools that are a lifesaver in regards to browser testing. Wine and Browsershots.
One annoying thing about Internet Explorer is that once you upgrade to a later version of it, you can’t use the previous version. This means you basically have to have a different machine for each different browser version. Wine running on Linux allows me to have both IE 6.0 and 5.5 installed and running side-by-side. IE 7.0 doesn’t work yet, but I have a separate machine I can use for that.
For all else I use Browsershots. It is an amazing free service that will render any public webpage on an extensive list of browsers and operating systems.

I actually had some problems with browser testing as well. I had used browsershots for a while before switching fully over to mac. Now I run parallels or vmware fusion in coherence mode with winxp. I have http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE installed on the winxp machine with a standalone version of IE7 also installed so I can cover all (well, most) bases.
