The answer is Virtual Machine.

• VirtualBox for free. I think more than enough for your purposes.
• Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac.
• VMware Fusion 3.

You could, if you have an Intel Mac, get a copy of Windows 7 Professional, which includes XP Mode and install it as a bootcamp partition.

Browsershots or Browsercam are cool

You could create a Virtual PC in VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion for this purpose.
