It Crash! But In My local develop machine as Windows XP + Apache , It Work.it's Windows is more better ? Not , I run it in other VirtualHost as Linux +Apache . It work well, just cost less than 1 second . and in My local machine it use more than 10second , as profile 20 second with xdebug !Why? the answer is my program use greates of Regular Expressions , so DreamHost found it cost too more CPU and stop my program. Windows not stop it but run it cost more time compare with Linux .who want to know the detail can write to my gmail. and Tagfeather is a good work hosted in google code but sorry just has Chinese document.

As I said, I'm not even considering moving to a Windows server or even deploying one for testing on the Internet. However, there are companies that have a huge investment in Windows infrastructure. Thanks to the efforts of <a href="http://zend.com" rel="nofollow">Zend</a> and <a href="http://microsoft.com" rel="nofollow">Microsoft</a>, <a href="http://php.net" rel="nofollow">PHP</a> now runs well on Windows and these companies can start to explore PHP as a development language.This is important to the PHP community because if these companies start looking seriously *at* PHP, they will start looking seriously *for* PHP developers.Now, maybe you don't want to work in an MS shop.; that’s ok, neither do I. However, there are 4.6 million PHP developers worldwide; I'm guessing there are some that would jump at the chance. Along the same vein, I have no interest in working for an IBM i5 shop. (or whatever the heck they call it this week, it changes names faster than <a href="http://www.zend.com/en/products/platform/" rel="nofollow">Zend Platform</a>) The fact that IBM and Zend worked hard to get PHP on i5 means that there are more opportunities than ever for PHP developers.So I don’t blame you if you don’t want to run Windows as a server platform, it’s not what you need. However, don’t begrudge those who do want to run it. It may be just what they need to get PHP introduced into their shop.Thanks for the comment! =C= Hi Gerry,

Microsoft is finally serious about PHP, wow, all that proves is how behind they always are! Why the heck would I want to run it on windows? I battled with windows desktop OS for 14 years and only recently saw the light. Why the heck would I want to put myself through all that again? A closed system impedes development on that system and just makes everything so much harder than it needs to be, I know that now. So if you're only argument for running PHP on Windows is that it's possible to do so, then I will rightly laugh the idea and then ignore you. Ok so PHP works on windows, so what?
