My experience is : if you have to be cross platform, develop on your favorite machine and adjust the interface (menu bars, colours, fonts) on the other platform. If your delivery platform is only the PC, you have the choice in investing your time once in learning to use a PC or spending some time on every project to adjust from Mac to PC. If you want to develop on the mac for the PC, use a small utility called "gamma" (delivered with Photoshop) to adjust the gamma of your screen from 1.8 (what is standard on the mac) to 2.2 (what is standard on the PC). If you dont do that, your pictures will be too contrasted on the PC.
