What issues will arise launching on LAMP from development on XAMPP?

[Holow]

I am considering developing a php/MySql website on my Windows machine. But I am worried about complications when I go to put it on the the server at, say, GoDaddy and the issues that may arise from their LAMP (they would use LAMP, right?) stack.Are they too perilous and/or numerous to rationalize development with the XAMPP (what about WAMP?) stack on Windows? Is developing on a Linux machine the real solution?-Turo
