This is not for those of us who do not use Windows: "Xenocode WebApps [...] run instantly on any Windows desktop."

Seemed promising, but turns out to be irrelevant to me. If I ran Windows I could already run all those browsers. It would be really nice if they released a version that could run on OSX.

I click on one and it wants me to run an executable, and that in no way could be a trojan or anything right?

It's extremely helpful as a web designer to be able to check compatibility across all browsers without having to install them. Installing IE6/7/8 on the same machine is not recommended.

Why pretty much negates its potential usefulness.

http://browsershots.org/ lets you get screenshots of your website from many more browsers. (but its screenshots, so you cant interact with the website.)

Running IE6 under Vista is still valuable, but this tool still fails where IETester fails-- the fonts are not rendered at the same size as they would be in IE6 on XP. Useless for developers/designers if you can't trust their renderings.
