It's definitely the original reason for wanting ZTS on Windows (which used to make sense, until we worked with Microsoft to bring FastCGI to IIS). But if that's still the only reason, it's a pretty bogus one - there's virtually nothing but downsides to using the ISAPI module (or ZTS under Windows in general), at least there aren't any tangible advantages I can think of. That's why I'm asking... Zeev
