It is very rare to find major rendering-differences for one and the same
browser across different operating systems.
Even minor differences are quite rare, but I usually find some when I
challenge any browser hard enough, so I'm not too surprised when
something doesn't appear perfectly identical across operating systems.
IE6 on 2000 vs. on XP may have received different upgrades - through
service-packs etc, so they may handle some web documents different.
Often depends on which options that are set/chosen by users, as some of
the latest options on XP definitely have led to different handling vs.
same options on 2000.
Do you _have_ to check on more than one operating system?
- Generally: I think not, but it's a good idea to do so if you can.
