The Windows you see today was not your mother's Windows. Here's a look at Microsoft's OS through the years.

Some Windows advocates are using my post about Leopard as "proof" that Vista is really what you need. When I said Leopard feels like Windows, I meant that it locks up, disappears, freezes and crashes. That I have to trick it into doing the right thing. I wasn't paying Windows a compliment, geez, you guys need to learn how to read. And by the way so do some of the Mac advocates. I didn't say you're having no fun with Leopard. Glad you're pleased. I wish I could gloat at how great an upgrade it was, nothing would make me happier. And btw, since writing the piece yesterday, it's been performing pretty well on all four systems I have it installed on. Maybe getting all that out in the open is just what was needed. For the record, I've never used Vista, I don't want to, honestly I'd rather live in Bucharest than use Vista. Not today's Bucharest, which I hear is actually pretty nice, I'm talking about the Bucharest of Ceausescu. The one who taught Cheney and Bush all they know about torture.

Following up on yesterday's release of PHP 5.2.0 RC4 from Ilia, Edin Kadribasic has posted the corresponding Windows builds.   This build is featuring the new installer contributed by John Mertic so testing it before the final release would be appreciated.   He's linked to various packages:  php-5.2.0RC4-Win32.zip php-5.2.0RC4-win32-installer.msi pecl-5.2.0RC4-Win32.zip php-debug-pack-5.2.0RC4-Win32.zip

Retrofitting SP2 to Windows 98 or Windows NT simply would not make much sense, argues Yankee Group&#39;s Laura DiDio. Both operating systems are eight years old, and the PC and Internet worlds were much different places then.

In a new tutorial posted to his blog today, Pierre-Alain Joye shows how to generate backtraces on a Windows machine without the need for a compiler installed.   How to get a back trace on windows without having to compile PHP has been an impossible task for many of us. The difficulty was to first succeed to compile php (given that you have a visual C++ installed). If you are in the middle of a bug hunting session, no need to say that setting up a windows build system is the last thing you like, especially if it is your first time. Thanks to Edin's window binary and MS Diagnostic Debug , it is now possible to have a backtrace in a couple of clicks.   To use the method you will need a few pieces of software to help out but all are available for free. Next up are the steps to get things set up (simple) and the creation of the backtrace to catch the error, complete with screenshots for the whole way. The end result is a nice, pretty error message output to the browser (Internet Explorer) that also dumps the backtrace for you to use.
