I'm about to start some cross browser testing of a design.
In your opinion is it worth testing browsers across a number of operating systems? As the browser is using the same rendering engine will the design likely be the same or are there inconsistencies big enough to warrant testing on different platforms?
For example, is it worth testing IE9 on Windows 7 and Vista?
Is it worth testing Safari on Mac and Windows? If I do this is it worth testing on different versions of Windows?
If I test Firefox in Windows is it worth testing on Linux and Mac?

Cross-browser testing is important because you'll want to ensure that your application, after much hard work and investment, works properly for all users. This is a crucial step in driving a positive user experience and revenue for your business.
Testing across different browsers ensures a seamless experience for all your website visitors, irrespective of the browser that they are using. With such a wide range of browsers, devices, and operating systems available today, cross browser testing is a crucial part of developing software.
Cross browser testing refers to the practice of verifying that web applications work as expected across many different combinations of web browsers, operating systems, and devices.
I don't think that different version of the same OS influence the page rendering of a given browser.
On the other hand, it would be wise to test the same browser on different OS' as some page elements are OS dependent. Take form inputs and controls for instance. Also Fonts are rendered different based on the OS.
