Here is my rationale: When you deal with something as complex as PaaS do as the Romans do: If you develop for GAE develop on UNIX/Mac like the overwhelming majority of the developers at Google do and because it is the environment your bits are going to be running in production. Now, if you develop for Azure develop on Windows like the guys at Microsoft do. Otherwise you are going against the current and you increase your chances to run into incompatibilities/corner cases etc. Do not waste time on these things, it is not worth it.
Having a consistent development environment across the whole team is of course another great reason to run in a VM but my comment was more about using a Unix VM in that case.

Trying to install and run the SDK natively on a Windows machine is looking for trouble." Why is that so? I'm guessing security concerns, but can you be specific? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
