This tutorial is to help you set up a LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) Ubuntu virtual machine server running on VirtualBox. VirtualBox is free for you to use, and supports Linux guest additions whereas the new version of Microsoft's Virtual PC for Windows 7 does not. Guest additions allow for better integration of desktop resolutions and mouse control. Folders can be shared between the host and guest machine allowing you to simply save the file you are working on and refresh your browser, there's no need to upload via FTP/SFTP to test your changes.
