FireFox is good for testing since stuff looks almost identical in both the Mac and PC version.

I do have VirtualPC on my drive for testing. It's slow but the nice thing is that it is just a disk image file so if it gets a virus or something I just toss the image and grab a fresh on.

I'm guessing that next year when Macs start shipping using an Intel processor that Wine will work with Mac X just the way it does with Linux so no more having to use VirtualPC.

We keep a PC running XP over at Angel's place for testing and to run Yahoo video chat since she likes to play in the chat rooms and is Windows only. At least once a year the PC becomes unusable do to viruses and she just buys a new one.

Seems like if I check my pages in Safari, Firefox, and the old version of Mac IE they display properly in everything.

I use Mozilla 1.7 as my primary browser (a die hard Netscape user from wayyyyy back). Mozilla has a few navigation features that I prefer over Firefox, but for the most part the pages render the same. I always check new pages in both Mozilla and IE. Very very rarely do I have a page that renders properly in Mozilla that doesn't in IE, and I've never had a Mac user tell me my pages are FUBAR. Then again, I'm not trying to use XHTML, CSS, Javascript and who know what else, to make banners fly about your head while you browse.
