I develop my PHP applications on a Windows PC for the simple reason that my
PC is a Windows box, not Linux. I can do this for the simple reason that
PHP, Apache and MySQL all run on various platforms, so I can develop on one
and deploy on another without any problems. I will not switch to Linux for
development for the following reasons:
(a) I don't have to.
(b) All of the other software that I use is Windows only, not Linux.
(c) I don't believe Linux is good enough yet to compete with Windows.

I choose not to develop with ASP and IIS because I prefer open source
products.

Does that answer your question?
