I'm finding PHP to perform quite well on Windows. I can
only imagine that Andi Gutman's statement,

"It does run on Windows but it doesn't perform very well"

refers to his later comments about adding additional
support to COM. COM/ActiveX/OLE represents a big hurdle to
any program that supports it. Even native executables run
into a "slowness" when it comes to creating objects with
the CreateObjects() methods of native programming lang-
uages.

What do you think Andi Gutman's statements about PHP not
performing well on Windows really means?

Thanks for any comments on this topic.

Oh yeah because the world just needs more "interfaces" between everything
to slow things down and make them more expensive slower and pointlessly
inneficient and complex ... did someone say .NET or XML ? or or ... just
about everything microsoft ever does?

Is it really so hard for anyone at all to do anything right in the first
place?

so now PHP starts on the downward slope towards quagmire. shame.

I think, he meant that
1. Not all PHP functions are available in Windows
2. isapi (for IIS) is less deployed than for Apache
3. Undoubtedly php in windows is slower than on *nix
