As a developer, sometimes one has to make tough choices. One has to balance design and functionality, client requirement and usability, time constraints and budget. With PHP on Windows, one can get the best of all the worlds: interoperability that allows creation of awe-inspiring applications on top of the security of the Windows Server operating system.
