#3 Embrace, extend, exterminate, is more like it.

Not a good prospect. MS would introduce "slight" incompatibilities and will try to derail the whole thing. After all, they have their .net platform to push.

#5 So what? It's open-source with a sane license, from what I recall. Nothing MSFT can do to control it; the project will just fork if they try anything.

As for getting it to run better on Windows -- good luck with that.

PHP is a great web applications language.
