I wasn't suggesting that you develop your app in Linux. Go ahead, develop on Windows -- memcached you shouldn't care what OS it is on -- it's just going to take serialized objects, and store them in a key-value cache. I just think it's much easier to get it running on Linux, and has less vagaries.
Keep in mind that the memcached service has limited memory in the default configuration. You will have to become familiar with startup switches in order to get much RAM beyond the limited amount available in the default configuration.

I understand the benefits of developing on a linux machine but right now I can't , I had a partitioned hd with ubuntu but I got rid of it a while ago. Now I only develop on windows. My goal is just to learn to implement memcached within my code for development and learning. I doubt I will have to use memcached in my proect unless somehow it became very popular. However, I would like to be on the safe side and code my project in a way that could be ready for scalability and heavy traffic. Also, I am curious, i have read that there are different versions of memcached and the old ones might be buggy. Which ones are the right binaries i should look for? Now, after i download the binaries, should I mount them on a virtual drive? burn it to a disk? or how do i set up the service? ..someone suggested using Sc.exe , I am gonna look it up. I think that after I set memcached as a service is all about making php get the extension in the php.ini file, am I right?
