If I’m using Windows 7 and IE9 to test browser compatibility for css/html/javascript is it “good enough” to use the developer tools and switch the browser mode between ie7, ie8 and ie9 or should i really be testing in each stand alone version? (using a virtual machine).
Also, should i be testing these separately on XP, Vista and Win7 or will Windows 7 give me enough to test with?
I work on a Mac, and I’m trying to limit the number of virtual machines I have to run to a minimum.
…what’s your baseline? IE7? One vm would do fine. I run Virtual Box for Win XP, but would suggest a stand alone machine for Win 7. I’d expect it to be a dog on a vm. But you might find it good enough. Funny thing is, FF on Linux and Win (4.0 for example) does produce different rendering results.
