I develop on Windows XP Professional myself.  As much as I like to bash
M$, XP is their best OS yet, and is more stable than previous ones (no
more blue screens).  Portability between my Windows box and my LAMP host
is not a problem.  I like Dreamweaver, and am considering adding another
Macromedia product - Fireworks - for image editing.  Anyone have any
experience with that?

Just to chime in here, I develop on a Windows XP box.  <gasp>

Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Sendmail are installed.  I use Zend, 
Dreamweaver, MySQL Control Center and other graphics programs.  I use 
WinEdit when I need  simple editor.  I find that I have no problems on 
this platform.  I can move all of my code between my Win box and my 
Linux servers without a problem.  Occasionally, I will have to modify my

applications config files. In that case I create multiple config files, 
one for each of the environments it will be running in.
