Original article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239299.aspx

Generally, when developing Sharepoint, We will directly install SharePoint on a local machine, which is convenient for development, debugging, or testing, it does not affect the development of other members of the team. To install SharePoint locally, you can either directly install it on the local machine or install a Virtual Machine (Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 or Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 r2) locally ), then, install SharePoint on the VM. We recommend that you use a virtual machine for installation, so that you can directly format the system on the virtual machine as needed.
