I tend to develop on the platform that I am targetting; if I am
writing server code, I'll use Windows Server; if I'm writing client
code I'll use XP/Vista. The reason is that I get fewer surprises when
things work differently, or require different permissions /
configuration changes / additional installs. The easiest way to do
this is with a few virtual machine images; this makes it a breeze to
change between platforms, and if you mess it up, you simply go back to
your master image (i.e. the clean image that reprsents the target
platform).
