http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Win32 Binary IS one of the few binaries Apache supply!!! Some government sites 
will ONLY allow that version to be installed :(
PHP5.2 installs have then been approved for use with the official apache 
install, so are you saying we need to go back to even earlier builds of PHP5.2 
to work with this?

See point above ... with the current windows situation on windows.php.net, 
PHP5.2.17 is the last version of php available to go with the official windows 
binaries from Apache? TESTING PHP5.3 on an official apache build and reporting 
bugs is not the problem here, since users are told not to use them at all.

Since official apache builds have always worked stably for years with an 
'official' build of PHP people simply expect that to continue!
