It's no harder to only test on Chrome in Linux and IE in Windows, I fail to see how that's an excuse. The only excuses are IE testing when developing on OSX and Safari testing when developing on Windows, it's trivial to install both Firefox and Chrome on any OS.

Actually, it's easier to test for IE versions on linux/mac due to http://xdissent.github.io/ievms/ - You can install the VMs on windows too (of course), but I've never stumbled upon quite as simple a solution. On windows I tend to just rely on compat mode, which is surprisingly good, but far from perfect.
