I write quite a lot of complex javascript and have yet to notice the 
difference between IE 6 and IE 8, every javascript bug/problem I have had 
with IE 6 still seems to be present on IE 8.

I have 3 real computers, one of which also has vmware to provide a variety 
of test setups, primarily because I do a lot of stuff with plugins which 
needs extra testing. I've also started testing on mobile browsers, in my 
case the one that comes with Symbian S60 5th edition (which is what I have 
on my phone).

If you are only doing straight web pages, then all you should need is IE 
+ Firefox + W3C validator. I use the firefox HTML validator extension :

which is highly reccomended. If the pages validate, they should work on 
everything, although the IE check is still necessary.
