BrowserShots

Tired of running 5 different operating systems to check your web design against different browsers? Web app BrowserShots takes screenshots of sites on different browsers using different operating systems including Windows, Mac, and Linux. Supported browsers include: BonEcho, Firefox, Konquerer, Opera, SeaMonkey, Safari, and Internet Explorer—along with several others you may never have heard even heard of.

BrowserShots can be customized to display various screen resolutions and color depths, and whether or not to enable, Java, Javascript, and Flash for the screenshots. It takes a few minutes (around 10 or so) for BrowserShots to generate the screenshots if you select every combination, and the screenshots expire and disappear after a certain amount of time. If you can deal with these small restrictions, BrowserShots is a must-have for any developer's toolbox.
