Do you think Google didn't already have a development copy of the 
YouTube site to play with?

That's how I do things. I *start* developing on my laptop, or on a 
staging server, so I don't have to worry about bringing a production 
website down in flames. 

Within the past couple days, I mentioned (either here, or on 
alt.www.webmaster) that my laptop has Apache, IIS, and Jetty installed, 
along with MySQL. 95% of my work is done using Apache/PHP or Jetty/Java; 
the other 5% is done using IIS.

If I need to work on a site backed by a SQL Server database, I can 
install SQL Server Express, so I'm covered there too.
