Short answer is that it is time to setup that Linux desktop machine you always wanted :-) However, PHP Triad worked very well for me when I installed it about a year ago and I am guessing that it has only got better (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phptriad). Also, if you are feeling adventurous and want to put a unix environment on your Windows box (including Apache, MySQL and PHP) you might want to play around with Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). However, another alternative that leverages your exsisting server environment is simply to set up a dev folder on your server and install a separate instance of Syntax under there - you will also need a development database in MySQL too for this to work.
