I like this solution, but I notice that you don’t say 6 easy steps, Since VMWare makes it so difficult to download their products…

just wanted to say… AWESOME tip… been looking for a way to get KDE without actually installing a unix… but i guess an emu will work.

Now i can actually view the JS errors KDE/Safari gives without trying to find someone with a mac!

Thanks again,

This allows you to QA your site on the Konqueror browser which uses the same rendering engine as Safari. You can get it running it six easy steps.
