haha.

From personal experience I have to agree with luke about windows being a pretty solid platform for php - at the moment our internal development server is Server 2003 and it's been a rock so far, in fact I can't actually remember it crashing or stalling once. That said, all our live sites are hosted on Solaris boxes and we're moving onto a Solaris development server in the near future as well - not because php is more stable there, but simply because the idea of running Windows servers just brings to mind the thought of hassle and security risks .. which is a pain in the arse.

Now you mention it we did exactly the same thing, the php was fairly basic file manipulation though

You could really just say that both are stable if used correctly. I mean, lets face it. Even FORTRAN in the hands of a good programmer could still be used today for commercial application development...
