I use PHP on Windows - the reason I do so as apposed to using ASP is
that I know my applications can be deployed on almost any OS and
Webserver combo known to man. I guess its my way with the heavy
emphasis on standards and CSS and so forth but I it gives me an edge
over using ASP. Ironically if I develop PHP on Linux I seem to have more
problems dealing with Windows after the fact that the other way round -
so I develop on Windows, test on *Nix and it seems to work well.
I do also code ASP/SQL Server/Oracle apps - simply because some clients
run Windows environments and PHP is not supported as policy.
