I like the idea of trying to have have developers that belong to all the 3 religions. Most guys run and say, I want a Mac, or the other heavy side is Windows. I worked at a company that made us use Windows. I installed Virtualbox and had Linux on there really quick. What your suggestion, I believe will inadvertently gets developers to do cross browser/OS testing and not even know it

ha! It's interesting because I love Linux and nearly installed it as my main OS on my laptop (but ended up with Windows...). I also really like Windows so I definitely gravitate away from macs haha.

But yep! They do browser testing without realizing it!
