If your tests aren't too resource intensive, a dedicated hosted server
running vmware can be an inexpensive and consolidated way to run all
of these platforms, if you can get someone to pop for around
~$150-$250/month.  I recommend rimuhosting.com, they have great
support.

VMWare is we do for our internal CI.  It works good, if a bit slow and
flaky sometimes, but this is mostly with IE-based selenium tests, and
we are running an old free beta of vmware server too.

As you all know, we have been running Bamboo as a CI for a few months.
It's a great help and is really wonderful in giving us opportunity to
flaunt our mistakes to the world.

That said, it doesn't catch enough. For me personally, there are two
areas where we need more CI. The problem is that both major points need
resources we don't currently have. First, we need to run the core JRuby
test suite on Win32 and OSX as part of CI. That would require
around-the-clock servers running this (but not _only_ that, of course).
Secondly, databases for AR-JDBC. At the moment, we have Derby and MySQL
in CI, and we really benefit from having them there. We are in the
process of getting Oracle and PostgreSQL in there too, and hopefully
HSQL too. But outside of that, we have a few databases we would want to
cover, but can't for different reasons. Sybase is hard to handle, DB2
likewise. MSSQL would be very good, but must run on Win32.

So basically, what we need is contributions in server time/maintainence
of said servers. If you think the areas mentioned above are important,
don't hesitate to come up with good suggestions.

Cheers
