Browsershots - web app to check your web page rendering

For most of us who do web pages, we don't have the luxury of a Common Operating Environment. That means, we're not in an intranet environment with standardised OS, browsers, etc. So there's the issue of making sure your webpage renders correctly, if at all, on different OSes and browsers. If resources such as hardware or software (like VMWare) are limited, a sensible solution would be to use Browsershots.

Basically it's a web app that lets you submit a website and check if it displays correctly on a variety of OSes and browsers. It will produce a bunch of screenshots which you can view and check if the rendering is correct.

Hmm....this website doesn't quite pass the test.

A note though. It might take some time to produce the results. If speed is an issue , you can consider getting priority processing.
