Re: [WSG] Testing on Windows 7
Well I am not exactly saying that as I would test ie6 ie7 on XP and ie8 on windows 7. It really depends on your clients, the site etc. But I really would expect any material differences between the same non-ie browser and version on XP and windows 7. Maybe schedule some brief testing until you feel confident? You will need to use XP for ie6 and ie7 testing anyway. Hope this helps.

Re: [WSG] Testing on Windows 7
