My recommendation is XP Pro & Visual Studio .NET. However, if you
want to experiment with .Net first before spending more money, here
are some tools for $0.

Asp.net web matrix includes both an IDE (lacking intellisense) and a
web server:
http://asp.net/webmatrix/default.asp...dex=4&tabId=46

and/or the Cassini web server:
http://asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=7&tabid=41

I'm not sure how well you can use Visual Studio with them. Or if web
matrix supports code behind files (but I hope it does).

The above will only serve pages to localhost. If you want a free,
non-production quality, web server for Asp.net, use a combination of
Apache and web matrix or cassini. (Apache is production quality,
just not web matrix/cassini). Setup apache to reverse proxy to
cassini:

cassini / web matrix on port 1080
apache (on same machine) on standard web port 80
add to apache config:
ProxyPass /asp/ http://localhost:1080/
ProxyPassRevers e /asp/ http://localhost:1080/

HTH,
Mike
