Vista? I’m holding out for XP service pack 3. I really cannot be bothered with the hassle of an “upgrade” that purportedly is not as good as XP and will not support all the legacy hardware I use on a daily basis.

I don’t know why people go on and on about this. I have had no problem with Vista. But I don’t purport, I use.

With that one, I don’t have a clue. My installation went through like a charm once I fixed the directory index issue.

If you really want to upgrade XP, get Ubuntu or Fedora Core.
Actually any Linux would do.

If you aren’t a gamer, you have no use for Windows.

Can’t do it. Tried Linux a while back on Dual Boot back in 2002. That was one of the three times I lost a whole hard drive of data. I know things improve, but losing data like that sucks. It sucks like the last food you ate before the last time you got sick. You know the food didn’t do it, but you really have no intention of trying it again for years or maybe even decades. I couldn’t stand Fritos for about 12 years, literally.

Plus I could not find the software I needed. I would consider it if it would run these:

Filemaker
Flock
Quickbooks
Windows Live Writer
Dreamweaver
Photoshop
Camtasia
A few random website submitters I have.
the list goes on

Of course I could switch, but all at once? Linux would have to have a feature where it automatically deposits $100 into my bank account daily in order for me to even consider it.

To stephan:

I had linux for years, and never had the BLUE SCREEN OF death. And now that you mention it, I lost me too a full disk of data but thanks to XP sp2. I’m not a linux inconditionnal, i work with 12 others os as well (mac, solaris, novell[which curiously switched to suse linux hehehe]…) and i assure you there’s no other os as stable as linux. One last thing, no one asks to switch TOTALLY to linux, it’s there it’s free, people are generous and willing to help, take it or leave that’s the difference, if you’re not happy with then don’t use it, it wouldn’t have costed you a dime… anyway this is a free world, you say what you want even if it’s clear you seem to be a Microtheft shop! cheers

To garg the unzola:

Excellent suggestion buddy!(thumbs up)

To sally ahmed:
—————
TRY this and please make a rule FOR ANY NON MICROSOFT program you install :(no space, no bizarre character in folder names)
create a VERY SIMPLE DIRECTORY “c:\php” and copy all contents of the old directory (c:\prgram files\php) in it. Or if you prefer, create this simple directory using the setup.exe if avalaible by choosing the path i suggested to you. Then, indicate that new path to IIS.
I hope it works for you.
I have the same install on windows vista with IIS running BESIDE APACHE!!!(on a different port of course)
If you’re more open minded than stephan, maybe you could give apache a try, don’t forget that no serious internet provider uses IIS for web so it should tell you that the guys working behind the scene are damned good good luck

Vincent, calling me a Microtheft shop is definitely open minded. You schooled me.

I am using this for a testing server. I do choose Linux to serve my active sites, but I have an issue with using it as my only operating system to save a few bucks.

So thanks for your input, says the Microtheft shop.

The end result of Microsoft is the Gates Foundation. What is the end result of Linux? Free software. How humanitarian.

Are you serious about the Gates Fundation as the end result of Microsoft? That sounds funny to say the least.

Maybe not the end, but a side effect. Are you saying the Gates Foundation would have happened without Microsoft? People like their own OS. I like mine. Linux is fine for a server. Mac is fine for a boat anchor. And Windows works. I actually to my own site when I make comments.
