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.
