A Year ago I wrote some posts about PHP running on a Windows Machine using FastCGI (In fact, PHP running on a Windows Vista or a Windows Server 2008 box), Today I re-setup all and found new useful information:

1. After Vista SP1 there is an update to the FastCGI component here

2. A new driver for SQL Server 2008 has published here.  It allow to connect php applications with SQL Server 2008. (even Express Editions)

Some references

And Tools.
