Large but functional PHP distro for Windows
One guy reporting that SB doesn't go on his Windows box pointed me at WAMP, a PHP5+Apache+MySQL distribution for Windows. Looks good - I wasn't looking forward to installing all the bits and pieces separately on my Windows box. Let's just hope it has a decent uninstaller as well, for once I'm done :-)
Downloading now... 23 megabytes. Getting 65 kB/sec through the office's DSL line. To think that ten (twelve?) years ago I balked at downloading FrontDoor, which, at 800k or so, took an hour at 2400 bps.
Heh, in the time it took me to write that and look up a link to FidoNet, the download finished.

Update: I've released the v1.0pre11 Structured Blogging code, which now will work if you have short_open_tags=Off
on your PHP install, so now it should work OK on Windows. If you were getting an error like Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in c:\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\structuredblogging.php on line 344
before, v1.0pre11 should work better for you.
