For an app as complex as osCommerce, you really need to test it in the same environment: same OS, same PHP version, same MySQL version, etc. I have to second Jared on this.

This is not _usually_ an issue, but it _can_ be an issue. Unless you will constantly update your PC to run the identical version of PHP / MySQL that your client is running, you need to keep this in mind in the rare event that something doesn't work right. I have seen some fall into a similar trap, that of assuming that a PHP application running on IIS will behave identically when run on Apache. Even worse.
