So installing wordpress takes like 30 secs anyway – whats the big deal. But installing PHP and MySQL on Windows takes much longer. Right pain in the jaxi last time I did, which I’m glad to say was a long time ago as I wouldn’t use that pile of crap for any server, especially not a web server. They ought to put some effort in and get the difficult to install bits working out of the box, since the WP boyz have done all the hard work already in making it so foolproof.
“AFAIK, the fastest platform for PHP apps is IIS…” what an utter crock of… More like the slowest, and certainly least stable. You can certainly have more sites and concurrent users on unix servers of equivalent spec. I’ve done my own tests, and there are plenty of stats out there which suggest the same.
By the way this theme is a cracking piece of design. Rather like Wordpress…

WOW that is too scary to even go to bed with. I wish I had waited until tomorrow and morning Joe to read that, Richard.

But thanks for the thought. It is worth getting it to keep in mind that no matter how good things get, the world can come apart in a flash of fire.

That’s all

Good news, the more the better.. MS usually only hops on the ‘open-source’ tip when they see $$$…

First google update/earth/desktop-search/gears/chrome and now MS… my poor CPU!

Thanks Matt, what a psychological effort you gave me in the title. I don’t know what will it gives to me, but at least Microsoft shared it for free.

It’s excellent but in the requerimients says: Vista RTM, Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008. So i think that it’s not going to have much sucess

that´s a damn scary headline… but phew it´s only about IIS hosted WP installs. Thank God and Linux that I don´t have to deal with IIS anymore.

Did anyone notice the WordPress version is only 2.2.3. I wonder what any upgrade would do?

They do have some open source stuff out there… like the CodePlex open source project hosting site – http://www.codeplex.com/ – and port25 – http://port25.technet.com/ .

Whats the difference between this and manually uploading a copy of wordpress to a IIS server and installing it like you would on a php server?

You know what, whenever I used to open microsoft word on my xp, this word uses to come into mind “Microsoft Wordpress” haha!!

Nice stuff btw

The program is in beta Dougal. It might be a feature in the final release.

One program that would install and help configure everything on a server is a great idea.
