Agreed on the rendering being off a bit.
That would be another cool feature for this - to pick your browser/OS to point out browser specifics bugs. There's already http://netrenderer.com/ for IE - but it doesn't let you do anything with the image.
That's obviously a very limited focus for a great general use app, but an idea.
I set out to tackle this problem a few years ago and while it was easy to rig up stuff to do this in Linux, getting anywhere near the rendering quality that I saw in OS X was impossible. It seems it may still be :-)
It was a couple of years ago now and I asked on Twitter if anyone would pay for an OS X powered Web page screenshot service and had a lot of response but.. busy with other things. Would love to see one though as it seems to be the only OS to render pages with any finesse.
