Well, there's a good sign for the Windows world involving PHP this morning. PHPEverywhere has a link to a Netcraft article starting that PHP is growing in popularity on Windows.

Although PHP is universally thought of as implying Linux, Apache and MySQL, nearly 7 percent of PHP sites [when counting by ip address] run on Windows. This has doubled over the last year, and on its current growth trajectory PHP will overtake Cold Fusion as the most popular non-Microsoft scripting language used on Windows during the next year.

The graphs and other stats that they show are pretty encouraging, and make it look like PHP is going to leave ColdFusion in the dust.

Scripting languages are seeing the best growth of any class of web technologies presently as site owners seek to make their sites more sophisticated and see a good return on the development time invested.
