Halloween Faster PHP on Windows

Today we announced that we are collaborating with ZEND to make a comparable performing solution for PHP developer on Windows running IIS. This is all coming about through the release of an add-on component for IIS called FastCGI that will serve as the interface between PHP and the IIS Web server in a performant way.

This is pretty cool. While Microsoft will always have its favored development environment which is based on .NET technologies, there is a fair proportion of web developers that do favor other models for building solutions. Its great to now give PHP developers a choice around the Web Server platform (and IIS) which they have never had before.
