PHP is 99% (if not 100%) backwards compitable... PHP is even stable on WinME, and on XP.. Lots of ppl use it on 2k as well... Works fine.. And fast (well, depending on your installation and configuration)... Oh, and about support.. PHP on windows accutually have it's own official list/newsgroup (php-win or php.windows).. :)
