For testing, I tend to use XAMPP on Windows, which is a full
Apache/MySQL/PHP stack. It's nice and easy and self-contained. I
probably wouldn't try to run a production site on it, but you could,
with some tweaking.

Does anyone know if you are forced to use IIS? If so, I don't see any way of getting pretty permalinks. I am curious, what is the ratio of core contributors that develop for windows? Thanks in advance, as google did not give me much other than opinions.
