internetnews.com— Most PHP developers use a Windows desktop to develop their code, but then turn to Linux when it comes time to deploy their apps. It's a situation that Microsoft is hoping to change.

...You're an oxymoron!Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I really and honestly tried to stop myself from leaving this as a comment, but as my brain was debating, my fingers were typing. :)
That's not entirely true, when I was stuck using visual studio to write some C the other day I was constantly cursing the lack of the powerful text handling capabilities built into OS X and felt like a much less productive programmer due to this, for example, the ability to do word/function name/whatever or even line replacement with a double or triple click.
How come every single person here who's mentioned they run PHP on Windows just fine is getting modded down? The article headline is a bit misleading. It's not like PHP on Windows today is a huge f**king stretch.
Man... Microsoft would really hate me then. I develop web-apps on OSX and deploy on Linux. Sorry MS.If you want to try a phenominal code editor on OSX, try out TextMate. With this, already installed apache, things are pretty easy. I've been contimplating deploying on an XServe OSX system as well, and just may do that if I ever need big beefy hardware. For now, cheaper hardware and free-linux until my site(s) make money :P
I want LASA: Linux, Apache, SQL Server, ASP.NET. I want the backend to be simple and rock solid; the linux foundation, the apache foundation. But I want the robustness of MS SQL Server and ASP.NET. MySQL is alright, but SQL Server is hands down better. It is just a more robust database for enterprise uses. And programming in C# and ASP.NET is a dream. PHP doesn't come close to the ease of functionality that I have with the ASP.NET environment. It's like PHP is the older more mature brother of classic ASP 3.0, but ASP.NET is so much better than both of those.I set up an ubuntu server a few weeks ago - LAMP. It's running on an old HP Celeron box I had lying around. There's no way in hell I could put win2k3, SQL Server 2005, and ASP.NET on there for a dev server, but it handles the PHP/MySQL stuff just fine. I want a server situation that's MS based but able to run on something like that Celeron box!
IIS7 was supposed to support some pretty sweet rewriting. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that that the reason it was so crummy in ASP.NET 2.0 was because they knew IIS7 was working on it, and didn't want to duplicate their efforts, make code that they'd just scrap next version, possible vulnerabilities, etc.

its all about lamp for deployment and all about windows for development
