Because some ISPs insist on running Winblows boxes and some clients
insist on retaining their current ISP. As a developer, I'm not always
able to control that ... only advise, or suggest.

I've come across this situation a few times. That they're even
prepared to install PHP at all is a blessing!

Apache on Win32 isn't stable enough for a production environment
(according to Apache). The good news is that I think PHP is helping to
make inroads into the MS monolith, and ISPs that were previously tied
to MS-only solutions are now seriously looking at Linux alternatives.
