Q: Wenn ich den Links zum der Browser-Crash Demo Folge, dann brauch ich
bei der letzten Seite nur noch mit der Maus über den “HERE” – Button
zu fahren und mein ( mit allen Updates versehenes ) Vista friert
sofort vollständig ein… Spricht das jetzt eher gegen Google oder Microsoft..?
A: Der Tenor nach der Veröffentlichung des Browsers lautet doch: Google
greift Microsoft an. qed.

There was a posting re “Mozilla’s Thought On Google’s Chrome” on Slashdot today… which has a comment that underlines what I wrote earlier:
IMHO, the real target is MS Office. Google makes their money from advertising, which means eyeballs and correlated data. Unfortunately for them, many people spend a majority of their day inside MS Word and MS Excel and other apps. Google would love to have those eyeballs and all that data to better shape their profiles and thus better deliver advertising. What better way than to get all those different apps to “occur” inside the browser?
“Consuming twice as much RAM as Firefox and saturating the CPU with nearly six times as many execution threads, Microsoft’s latest beta release of Internet Explorer 8 is in fact more demanding on your PC than Windows XP itself, research firm Devil Mountain Software found in performance tests.”
“We finally found something that sucks more CPU power than Crysis.”

The thing is, any time you get a provider in the market that has a predominantly large share of that market, questions start to get asked about their practices, about what their motives are. I desperately hope that they [Google]…in fact I expect that they will change. They will become as grown up as some of the larger companies around, so in some respects it’s a predictable thing.

It’s not that MS already made an official statement, but from what I read in the news, Microsoft not only started supporting PHP on Windows/IIS. Much more important is, that they are buying companies that use PHP (they could not close some deals yet, but at least they try to):
The next logical step is, that Microsoft runs PHP applications and employs a lot of PHP developers. I really don’t think, they will port all those apps to their own technologies like .net, C# or Visual Basic. So, be prepared. You will soon be able to start a career at Microsoft as PHP developer.
As people start asking me about that ODBTP adapter for Zend Framework, I will publish it as attachment to this post now. It should work with the latest version of Zend Framework (as reported by a developer). If you want to use it, just copy the files to your include path (make sure the path comes before the ZF path). Of course, you need to install ODBTP as well and add extension=php_odbtp_mssql.dll to your php.ini.
