Analysts continue to trump the lack of applications being developed for Vista. Yet, as Randall Kennedy points out, "developers who write for Windows rarely target a specific version. Rather, they select a particular API framework and proceed from there." The supposed Vista 'app gap' is a straw man, Kennedy argues. "The real question should be: Why aren't developers leveraging the various iterations of the .Net framework?"

Actually, think PHP as an ISAPI module would work fine on Vista. I think the actual problem is the integration of Komodo (my IDE) and PHP. Komodo is using the CLI version of PHP to interact with PHP. It is the command-line version of PHP that is having the problem - I imagine the way it terminates (who knows, maybe it doesn't return 0 at the end of main!) causes the problem. Komodo is constantly running the PHP CLI executable, and thus I get a popup-message every second or two about the improper termination of CLI.exe. For me it isn't a big deal - I just use Komodo under Linux. I rarely have to boot into Vista anymore. My only use for Windows is gaming (although many games do run under Wine now), but I keep an XP box around for that.
