This may not be a popular opinion; however, I only test with the latest
versions of IE, Netscape, Opera and Safari.  The reason is that almost
all of the sites I have done recently were developed in XHTML 1.0 Strict
and CSS. XHTML Strict requires that you write valid code.

My feeling is that if my code is valid and, for some reason, IE on Mac
flakes out with it, then that is really an IE on Mac issue.  I'm not
going to continue to worry about every possible combination of browser
and OS when I know that my code is valid.

The latest browsers are free.  Forcing developers to accomodate every
combination of browser and OS is very expensive.
