I have never developed for WAMP, the hosting guy for my new client says they are using Windows servers, they can setup PHP and MySQL for me, but they cannot switch to a *nix server.

He said there are some nuances from PHP on *nix Vs. win.

So my question is, if I have never programmed PHP on win, should I go through the hassle of switching hosts (since they cannot do *nix themselves), or are the differences slight enough that it shouldn't be too big a problem for me?

(side note: the state of the clients website has no effect since it is a static all-flash site and is going to be completely rebuilt)

Thanks!
