This is torture! Why would you NOT want to develop right in the native
environment? This is one of the reasons I switched to Linux and never
looked back. Which also answers your next question below:

Yup, pretty much. Ubuntu distro has become so incredibly easy to install
that I see no reason not to use it. All the development software you may
need and bunch more is available on Linux. All free... However, if you're
locked into Win for a different reason, such as corporate BS, tax or
accounting software that's hard to switch etc., you can dual-boot on your
laptop.

If that's also out of question (corporate security's got you down) you can
dust off an old PC (P3 or better, preferably) and install either Ubuntu or
Centos on it, configure it as LAMP server with GUI and just VNC into it
when needed.

Alternatively, laptops themselves are so cheap these days and Web
development is so NOT demanding in terms of CPU and other resources
(except maybe stats crunching) that you may just have a dedicated Linux
laptop (or even netbook with external keyboard and monitor) just for your
Web-related development, PHP or otherwise.

Good luck!
