While it would be nice if there was a clear-cut way of knowing how your latest subtly-beautiful-pastel creation was going to present itself to any given web user, perhaps what one might best do it to look at the weblogs and see the os/browser combo's that hit your site.
It may seem incredible to you and I, but some folks do not upgrade their equipment on a quarterly basis. Even more shocking, these folks may not even change their factory settings!
My solution? Cover your desk with computers, load 'em up with partitions, and when you design your site, QA as you go. Frustrating? Yes. Slows you down? You bet. But you end up knowing how most folks see your site.
Alternatively, you can program your site in XML, and have Gemstone belch out a different version of you site for each level of platform/os/browser.
