Sweet, but I should note out that MAMP and XAMPP are both software packages, the former being for a OS X, and the latter being multi-platform (OS independent). They’re not related to one another and built by different people/communities/companies, so saying “MAMP is the Mac version of the software” is wrong, because XAMPP has also got an OS X version.
Both of them are sort of LAMP packages (bundled for different OSs), but “LAMP” itself is just an acronym, not a piece of software like MAMP or XAMPP are, so saying MAMP is the Mac version of LAMP is also not quite right. Besides, there are a bunch of other “LAMP packages” out there, which are not named after LAMP.
