It's funny, the only use I see for this is IE testing, since everything else I can install the latest version of on my Mac, and the differences between versions are pretty small (and if you can support IE's lack of HTML5 functionality you can certainly do the same for FF3).

Still, solid UI and product, and will be handy for the quick IE spot-checks that I should be doing more of :).

What about testing on Windows?

With the exception of fonts there should be virtually 0 rendering differences between osx and windows versions of the same browser.

I've run into the situation more times than I can count where there was some little display difference between, for example, FF on OSX and FF on Windows. Always pays to spend the short amount of extra time needed to test across operating systems.
