PHP Optimized for Windows Server 2008
Stony Stevenson writes "It used to be that popular PHP applications would run more poorly on Windows Server than on a Linux or Unix servers, for which PHP had been optimized. Specialist in the PHP language Zend Technologies now says that's no longer the case. The Zend Core commercially supported form of PHP has been certified by Microsoft as ready to run 'with performance and stability' on Windows Server 2008, said Andi Gutmans, co-founder and CTO of Zend. Previously, PHP 'didn't run as well as it should on Windows,' said Gutmans, despite the fact that 75% to 80% of PHP users were developing on Windows workstations."

Honestly, though, I've always liked the British spelling of a lot of words as opposed to the Americanized version that I've grown up with. I seems classier in most instances.

I never ran into hard compatibility issues when working in Windows.dev/Linux.prod. And never ran into any issues since i switched to the Mac.dev/Mac.prod solution ^_^
.net programming from time to time, it runs perfectly well on VMWare Fusion. The sole inconvenience is the fact that you have to activate your windows twice every time you reinstall (once on Native/Bootcamp and once in VMWare).
Even Mac.dev/Linux.prod is totally seamless.
It really makes me wonder, why on earth developers don't all switch to the mac? Price is definitely not an excuse anymore, and compatibility issues are tales from ages ago.
I also do some
The Mac loves you. Join the cult of Apple!
