Testing (was RE: AOL Email Guidelines?)
I have found that the easiest way to test across browsers and operating systems is by using VMWare. I have 8 VMWare machines on my workstation, mostly running Windows 98. This allows me to run almost every version of IE, Netscape and AOL without leaving the comfort of my ergonomic task chair . I can open 3 or 4 of them simultaneously for "head to head" comparisons.

I'd second this - it's not only great for testing browser versions, etc, but for all sorts of software. You can even build your own little virtual network between virtual machines. It's great for testing network software of various sorts.
