Rendering in standalone installs is often OK, but with VPC you install exactly what your visitors use. I know of no other way short of massive partitioning of the drive to have one computer host so many accurate test systems.

Right. Virtual PC as a product is not what I meant, but rather the technique of emulated (or virtualized) hardware to support multiple simultaneous installs of Windows in order to keep each install clean. Thanks for setting that straight, Oliver.

Some QA departments have racks of computers; some create massively multi-boot systems. But CSS development is sometimes referred to as "Change Something and See" development, so being able to have all sorts of OS's and IE versions open at once is a useful tool. Far better than finishing a site, and then posting a "Site Check, example.com -- esp Windows!!!" plea to the list.
