Using Microsoft :-) IIRC, the deal is this -- When PHP went to version 4, the threading stuff got real, but MS doesn't have real threads, so "forking" to run exec() and whatnot just plain isn't going to work. PHP could let you try, but you'd pretty much crash PHP and/or whatever you forked, which in Microsoft-land means crashing the whole machine requiring a re-boot.
