I attended a tech session over at the Microsoft Philippines HQ tonight, and guess what was the topic: PHP Interoperability on Windows. The session was conducted via Microsoft Office Live Meeting by Chris Ismael, who is based in Microsoft Singapore. Among the attendees are some familiar faces in the PHP Users Group Philippines.

So, what’s in store for the Open Source crowd from Microsoft. For one, it is not (or no longer) a sin to speak the “Linux” thing inside the HQ — just kidding.

Did you know that Microsoft already launched their Web Platform Installer 1.0 and 2.0 (Beta)? So basically, what are those, you may ask? They’re like “LAMP” or “WAMP” being distributed by Microsoft.

Also, Abet Dela Cruz (Microsoft Philippines) mentioned about the soon-to-be launched local Interoperability site http://www.interop.ph
