IE tends to be the main culprit in terms of poor rendering, so they OWE us a half decent testing tool (although i'm backing away from a 400MB download!!). nice, thanks for the link Geoffrey.

I've been trying out the new Microsoft IE8 browser today to check that my site was compatible (which I'm delighted to see it is). Microsoft have handily posted a set of Virtual Hard Disk images for different versions of Windows and Internet Explorer so you can trial your site on IE6, IE7, IE8, Vista, etc. They take ages to download and I noticed that the XP IE8 image only includes Flash v6 (so the Pictobrowser on my site doesn't work), but otherwise they work fine.
