We are sticking to old Windows APIs because of this support which doesn't make much sense considering that Microsoft has stopped supporting those platforms six months ago (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/support/endofsupport.mspx). So I see no reason for us to support Micorsoft customers better than they do :) Those who are stuck on those versions should just stick to the versions up to PHP 5.2.0. They are not getting Windows updates, so why should they get PHP updates? Unless anyone disagrees with this, we'll go ahead with this. Andi
