I also jotted down a list of other cross-browser testing tools at http://www.tecnomeme.it/web-design_web/cross-browser-testing-tools (please moderators remove this line if it's again your policies, thank you). cheers hmm.. just tested my website on Browsershots, but i got different “live” results on IE and Firefox.. can i ask others if did they find this service reliable?

Everyone who's got a unused PC can turn it into a BrowserShot factory, helping to serve more different browsers on any platform. See http://browsershots.org/factories/ for a current list of so called "ShotFactories". Read the FAQ on http://v02.browsershots.org/trac/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions to help out!

That was over 3 years ago. It's a great service and he's still tweaking and playing around with it all. I'm surprised (yet overjoyed) it's still free.

It's a great system, but it's always seemed very slow (I never paid for a line-jump), and the only browser I really need to test for is Safari. So instead of Browsershots, I use <a href="http://www.browsrcamp.com/" rel="nofollow">BrowsrCamp</a>. It's much faster. They even have a subscription server where you can "rent" a mac through VNC in order to actually interact with your page in real-time. I haven't used the paid-service yet, but it's nice to know it's there. I’ve used Browsershots off and on for the last year or so.

It's very good though. I didn't pay and started getting results back in minutes. IE7 seems to currently crop off at the view port, but other than that it's very solid for an alpha.

You used to have to get in line for days at a time. Now, if the service can't get you done in a few hours, they kick you out and let you try again.
