I'm sure this is a boon and a feather in their cap for Zend, but, ultimately, I don't see it making a huge difference in PHP, other than improving it a tiny bit for Windows users. Hopefully this boils down to somebody at Zend getting a crack at Longhorn/Vista/Whatever source to find optimizations. And maybe submit a patch or ten back to MS to fix some long-standing Windows issues. Perhaps even to tailor the Windows builds with even more #ifdef to get better performance/stability. But, again, with the millions of non-Windows users as the big install base, I don't changing much. Some Windows users will leave the dark side once they realize they can. Some Linux users may migrate back to Windows to keep tighter integration with other software, if Windows was actually finally stable. I'm predicting a "tie" in this race from that perspective :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
