It might be worth testing on different platforms. Firefox 2.0 on Windows, OSX 
and Linux. I belive there some times are some quirks that creeps up. All though 
rare.

  Hi WSG,


  I'm testing a custom application to see if it works in different OS's and Web 
Browsers.
  My question is there any practical reason to test different OS when you can 
download them on your current OS.


  eg. W2K Internet Explorer 5.5 vs WXP Internet Explorer 5.5
  I have multiple IE but is there really any reason to use a different OS? Is 
the web browser going to be any different?
  Anyone with web browser testing experience have any advise?
