#2Is this somehow related to browserling/stackvm? Afaik the idea is the same but browserstack looks much more polished and mature.
Ok i just discovered that browserstack needs java so it seems they are using a different sw stack

Browserstack needs Java only for creating local tunnel via web interface. For the rest it uses Flash!

#4Just tried this on my in-development web app. The good news is that it works like a charm. The bad news is that the browsers keep prompting to save the password of my test account. I wish they'd turned of password manager for all of the browsers.
I also feel a little weird typing in my test account password into their site.

#5A bit off-topic, but i find the Plans & Pricing page to be a very good example of how to design for an attention-lacking crowd, i.e. most web users. In particular, the team-size icons is a rare example of using eye-candy to succinctly help in clarifying for whom each package is tailored. Or maybe i am just easily excited today!
If anything, i would invert the per-person price with the overall price in order to give emphasis to "more people is actually cheaper". There is something in descending prices that makes people feel good.

#6I used to be interested in this type of service, but then I got an SSD. With an SSD it takes about 5 seconds to boot windows through parallels, and now cross browser testing is no longer a chore.
I am willing to admit that I pirate windows for the sole purpose of supporting IE with my webapps. It would be too expensive to do it legitimately, so my solution is not for everyone.

#8Bravo BrowserStack team! I am using this to test IE7 on our staging environment. Your signup process was great, I was able to jump-in and start testing immediately. I think you could add better communication and assurances about security and private information. Keep up the good work.

Here's a great discussion about how to run multiple versions of IE on a single windows instance,

Do you test all of IE6, 7, 8, and 9 like that?
