I am personally a big fan of dual booting a Windows System with an Ubuntu partition. A close second is running a well configured VM inside Windows. It gives you the ability to still develop using Linux which I think is the better platform for Web development and still have access to all the top notch design software like Adobe photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. Plus still have access to Visual Studio for ASP.NET if you are into that sort of thing.
