If you are using a non-windows based OS probably Linux or Mac OS may be even Solaris or OS/2, you can preview how you website or new site design looks in Internet Explorer.
A site by Daniel Vine provides you this facility for free, Just head over to http://www.danvine.com/iecapture/ and enter your sites URL to preview. This site will automatically create a screen shot of your site how it appears in IE. Usually it will take longer to get a screenshot because always there will be thousands of such sites queued to be previewed. Post your comments and experiences. |

QUOTE Queue: 5452 jobs. (Approx. 2726 minute wait time) Hmm thats a long wait time, especially if you are doing it for website testing. You might have to go back and change one little thing and start all over again... |

I'll answer to my question myself.
 While surfung internet I have found very interesting site(for webmasters ofcause) : http://browsershots.org/. How it works, just type web address (starting with http://) of your site and click start. Then in next page "Select browsers and configuration" and submit. Note: Input maximum time for wait. It is free of charge. but in future it can be paid service. Write here your opinions about this service. |

Install a virtual machine on your computer and install windows on it. If you are using Linux, they all have virtualization applications. These may not be the fastest but to refresh a web page once the virtual machine is open and booted, will not take more than a few seconds. This beats 2 days waiting just for a screen shot.

Yes this is cool thing I was just watching at my friend how does this thing looks it is really nice. ANd works pretty well also on old machines and slow computers. He was running linux and had xp in virtual machine it is just great to have this work out in this way. I think I will try it also somedays. |
