Hi all:
Read this interesting news on Reuters
PHP Zend runtime engine will be optimized for Microsoft platform.
Technical Summary
PHP which is the most popular scripting language for Web applications
and also part of LAMP stack will see its run-time engine (powered by Zend)
optimized to run very well on Microsoft Operating System.
Why PHP is so important ?
- PHP powers some of the world's popular blogs and Wikipedia.
- PHP is a performance driven scripting language
- Enterprise applications like SugarCRM are written in PHP
- PHP5 has proper "OO" features as in Java.
Why Microsoft is interested in PHP ?
- As businesses increasingly adopt PHP based applications,
the platform of choice is Linux and *not* windows
(apps drive OS and not the other way round)
- By making PHP/Zend run-time work very well on Microsoft OS,
customer's will be able to continue to run Microsoft Windows
and need not choose Linux.
- Easy to use tools with excellent PHP/Zend performance makes
Windows platform more attractive to customers.
In the final analysis, Open Source technologies like PHP/Zend
have gained "mind share" and "commercial traction" !
