I set out to tackle this problem a few years ago and while it was easy to rig up stuff to do this in Linux, getting anywhere near the rendering quality that I saw in OS X was impossible. It seems it may still be :-)
It was a couple of years ago now and I asked on Twitter if anyone would pay for an OS X powered Web page screenshot service and had a lot of response but.. busy with other things. Would love to see one though as it seems to be the only OS to render pages with any finesse.
That would be another cool feature for this - to pick your browser/OS to point out browser specifics bugs. There's already http://netrenderer.com/ for IE - but it doesn't let you do anything with the image.
That's obviously a very limited focus for a great general use app, but an idea.

OK, great effort getting this up and running but the font rendering is, well, not good. For comparison: http://no.gd/p/snapito-20120217-043956.jpg

Agreed on the rendering being off a bit.

Yeah I think it’s the ‘with finesse part’ that is worth pursuing for sure.
