windows browsers vs MAC browsers/site testing

Ive seen sites that compare netscape vs IE for tables, tags, css, etc. but what about windows versions of IE vs MAC IE or windows netscape vs mac netscape? It's part of a larger question of how many OS's/browsers do you test your site in?

Most people code for IE since it's the most dominant brower.

When I code my site I test it in Internet Explorer (Windows), Opera (Linux), Konqueror (Linux) and Galeon (Linux).

gottem test them all to get things right

I have both a mac and a pc in my design studio setup. The changes in browsers on both platforms can sometimes be very significant, sometimes not. Usually the more complicated the site, the larger the possibility that you will get something wierd happening. I run test in netscape and ie on both os's.

Basically you test your site on as many browsers you can get your hand on.. even tho IE is market dominant, there are always people who "think different".
