When we were all out in MtnView last, one of the action items for some of the Mac QA folks was to get a machine that triple-boots (Mac/Win/Linux) so that we could run the same version of chrome on the same hardware and see the differences between platforms and then to run a bunch of tests (startup, new tab, page-cycler, etc). I'm pretty sure krisr got the machine created, but I don't think we ever ran any tests on it beyond that.
Anyone know what happened our best laid plans? This seems like something we should be very active in tracking.
