LOL...

I think his article is fine. PC-MAG caters to mostly windows users. And
honestly, there are issues in php that haven't matured to 5 * rating. I
think the developers are making leaps and bounds toward a solid windows
product. There are many compilicatons that will cause the average PC-MAG
many headaches.

PHP is the best language on the market, IMO, but I'm a developer, not a
PC-MAG subscriber.

PC-MAG lost my patronage a long time ago because of technically weak
articles, such as this, perhaps they will loose you partrons as well.
