So how would you expect to deal with a new MS runtime environment for PHP?

I suppose, no matter how many times the message "This version of PHP
requires this pack of files from Microsoft" with a link to the files
you are still going to get users complaining that their PHP doesn't
work.

Just like the number of bogus Doc bugs for the CHM being downloaded
via IE (See the warning on http://www.php.net/download-docs.php).
