What browsers do you test against?
I'm in the final testing phase of a new website, and I'm wondering what browsers folks commonly test against these days. Since it's new, I have no user agent data to go by. I'm presently testing against the following:
Windows
Mac
Windows
- IE: 6, 7
- Firefox: Newest
Mac
- Safari:Newest
- Firefox:Newest

I think the important thing is that you know your target market. I haven't had someone with IE 5.5 visit my blog in forever, but it regularly happens at my job's site. Generally, I keep the same matrix that you use, but if I see that I have a few Opera users visiting the site - I will check it too.
I test against IE6 & 7, Firefox 2.x, Safari (using the Windows Beta) and Opera.
Any other browser is out of luck, but there shouldn't be too many inconsistencies if the others work.
I don't do all that much front-end development these days, but the next time I do, I'm using Litmus. It shows you a given page in every major (and even some minor) browser on every platform. Totally golden..
Here is a nice tool for multi IE in same PC.

Developer sites: FF, IE 6,7
Public Sites: FF, IE 5,6,7, Opera 9.x, Mac (Safari, FF, IE), Linux (FF).
I test against the list you made and sometimes I'll check opera just to see how far off it is.
I left IE 5.5 behind a long time ago. There are too many design problems with 5.5 and the population is small enough where I stopped caring.
I test against
Firefox 2/3 beta 2
Safari 3.0.4 (Win)
Opera 9.2/9.5 beta
IE6/7
Whatever I agree with the client in the "acceptance testing - non functional requirements" section :->
I typically suggest IE 6/7 on Win, FF2 on Win and Mac for my SMB clients on a budget as it covers most of the market and also my dev environment!
I have some clients where IE5 is worth the extra money and others where accessibility is a huge concern so we test in screen readers. It's all down to budget and ROI. Most important thing is to make the agreement explicit, otherwise the client's gonna come back with "hmm, my boss just checked the site out on his WebTV at the Ski Chalet and he says our website is broke . . ."

As the previous speaker says - it all depends on the budget that one is giving for a project.
One can't do everything for anything quite simply.
If budget;
Windows
IE5, IE6, IE7, Firefox 2 & 3 (now RC1), Opera, Safari 3
Mac
Safari, Konqueror
If not a good budget;
Windows
IE6, IE7, Firefox 2+3
It's often down to making good code though and knowing what works and knowing what will be "quirky". :)
