Nice idea. I have thought about trying a similar solution for testing layouts in Safari in our Mac-free office. There is a remote-desktop-like tool called Nomachine NX Client, which I could use to peek into one of our Linux servers running Konqueror (which is as close to Safari as we can get, here - I'd be grateful for comments about how they compare.)
For more information about the IE standlones, this PIE page is brilliant: http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/multiIE.html The page also has some really good tips about the use of conditional comments to target specific windows versions. All the best!
