Came across a MacWorld article that talked about a new product from Adobe called BrowserLab. It lets you render a web page in the various browsers and see how they look. So you can see a page in Safari and have it right next to how it looks in IE. This also works on Mac as well as Windows. I haven't tried it yet as the page requires Flash 10 and I wasn't up for doing that. Let us know if you check this out and give some feedback.
Got a tip for us?

Interesting find! I am actually surprised that I didn't know about this. They are currently not accepting new beta testers but I will check with the people I work with at Adobe to find out when this will move to public beta.
Sadly, it looks to be entirely static, which is only so useful, but it would be a helpful service...
It's only hitting the 'buz' today. Very good browser testing platform - Have been using it today!
What do you think of it so far? Is it really just like BrowserShots (in that it's static)?
Yup, still static, but it only takes a couple of seconds to load the image and you can compare 2 browsers at a time side by side or as onion skinned image.
It only shows IE 6 & 7, Firefox 2 & 3 mac and windows, and safari 3 mac. However it is currently free as they are testing (subscription due to take effect upon proper release).
I can see this developing into a really good platform if they give it the resources it needs.
You only need an Adobe ID (which you can get from signing up - can post link if needed) to try it.
