I've been using XAMPP on Windows (which I'm forced to use at work) for a few years. I write a lot of custom PHP stuff to help me with my day job, and I also like to test functions or classes I write before I push it out to production. ApacheFriends XAMPP is an easy way to get a basic Apache installation up and running with some of the most popular add-ons including PHP and MySQL. It installs in OS X and many Linux distributions as well.
While nothing can replace a streamlined, custom-compiled AMP Stack set up just the way you need it, XAMPP affords busy sysadmins (and web developers that don't want to be sysadmins!) the ability to get a functional web dev environment up and running with ease.
Go ahead, give XAMPP a shot!

FART on Windows
No, I'm not asking you to unleash a batch of cheek-flapping flatulence upon Vista. Although I wouldn't mind if you did.
FART is an open-source Find And Replace Tool for the Windows command-line. It's much like a mash-up of grep and sed, and capable of easily converting text files from UNIX to Windows/DOS style newlines among other things.
