Installed Linux on my laptop - impressions

[Words Of Wisdom]

I just installed Windows XP on Ubuntu using Vmware, just to check out how would my web sites work...

I installed MSIE 4,5,6,7 on it, using a software that installed all of those versions on one Windows
and it's working the same as it is in my real Windows machine....

So, i guess this could be used for testing, i checked some forums and there
people are saying that this is ideal for web developers or programmers to test stuff..

Please correct me if i'm wrong (i am a linux newbie)...

Mulitple IEs does not perfectly replicate the environment.  It's good 95% of the time but every so often a bizarre bug will appear in a native IE6 (run through VM) that you won't see in MIE.  Developing using MIE is fine but do the final test against a native one.
