I think it's pretty simple to use, but if you use for online I still think you should use linux hosting as you will be sure it's 100% compatible I use PHP&mySQL under windows using wamp server(all in one- apach/php/mysql).

The AMP stack under Windows is a much simpler concept for the majority of Windows users, over telling them to install Linux. Using Apache, PHP, MySQL under Windows does not mean loss of functionality of feature set. Its just about the same as under Linux. And the win32 ports are not hacks... The s/w was designed to be platform independent. If you are looking for a Windows solution, take a look at the <a href="http://www.devside.net/" title="Web-Developer Server" rel="nofollow">Web-Developer Server</a> Suite. Use whatever works for you the best.

It brings nearly every favored GNU utility and many larger packages to windows and is fairly easy to maintain. It can be a joy to dive into an otherwise messy set of windows configuration files using grep, cut, awk, sort, sed, more, tail, etc., from bash or tcsh or whatever you might be used to. Easy to install, free-as-in-speech, and makes it even easier to take advantage of the benefits offered by FLOSS, or just to get a start on the unix learning curve while still living in the more comfortable (for many) win* environment.

However, this article show that the setup will take the load of a production environment was well. As I said one downside is that you need to make sure the packages you install have what you want. But if you are staying fairly mainstream in your needs that shouldn't be a problem. That has been the conventional wisdom.

I've been into WAMP since I started messing with Wordpress and designing my own blog. It works great - it allows me to easily hack away at Wordpress themes in the safety of my own laptop, rather than live on the web. I didn't realize you could actually use WAMP to RUN something. Wow. Seriously - I thought it was more of a developer back-end thing. How funny. Interesting - I’ll have to read the article.
