Why are we doing this?

Over the past few years, Microsoft has been improving its architecture to better support PHP on Windows. Understanding the capabilities of PHP on Windows will give PHP developers an advantage when designing a system that uses the Windows operating system. PHP developers can use the technology they are already familiar with, which is PHP, and take advantage of a proven, stable platform, the Windows operating system, IIS and SQL Server.

Furthermore, now PHP developers can better design systems that integrate multiple technologies (i.e. Linux and Windows), enhanced existing systems that uses SQL Server to the web with PHP, use PHP and offer Microsoft's robust media delivery technology such Silverlight, and easily combine ASP.NET with PHP technology when needed.
