[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1414971, member: 71075"] Most web frameworks are cross-platform (the tools that is) except for Microsoft's tools. Although .NET can be used across platforms with Mono, you'd be better off with the actual SDK from MS (and thus Windows). A lot of your development needs (.NET, SharePoint, WP7 support) are all much bettert served by using a Windows machine. Since you appear not to have purchased the Mac yet (you mention returning the last one), I'd suggest you just stay with Windows. If you used any other frameworks, I'd say that it was more than doable with the Mac but given your dependence on tools that are highly platform dependent, you'd be better off staying away from a Mac as your development machine.
