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

I have a surprising graph to show: here's the OS makeup of Hacker News traffic from a post I recently had on the front page: http://dustincurtis.com/screenshots/Operating_Systems_-_Goog...

#14a) "from the web" is misleading. It is a native windows exe. It is in no sense running "from the web".
b) nor does it really run in a real virtualized sandbox - try downloading something or saving something from within a page. you'll get a file browser to save onto your own real file system.

I have to throw in a good word here for http://crossbrowsertesting.com/
Very useful for professional developers. Thanks

#18Seemed 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.
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.

I've found http://browsershots.org/ to be useful for that. Of course, you can't actually use the site through it.
