i've been doing this for over 2 years now.

when i was on my windows based laptop - it was vmware. now i'm using a
powerbook, i'm doing exactly the same thing under virtual pc. i can allocate a
4-16GB hard drive image for each platform - and, develop away without any
concern.

moving between laptop + desktop = just copy the vmware.

i've had a number of sub-contractors who just get stuck before they can
do any development just because they dont know how to install the tools.
this was one of the reasons why i used a vm for this - just ship them a DVD
with a harddrive image = ready for development.
