[wp-hackers] WordPress self install on Windows?

[Danny G Smith]

The zend stack is production grade, I use it on linux, and like it, and is self contained as well.  I just worry about security, and scaling, not to mention losing a shell, and tools like vi, grep, diff, etc.

thanks,

Danny G. Smith

Does anyone know if you are forced to use IIS? If so, I don't see any way of getting pretty permalinks. I am curious, what is the ratio of core contributors that develop for windows? Thanks in advance, as google did not give me much other than opinions.
