For information on why, read the related FAQ entry on using Apache2 with a threaded MPM<http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.apache2>On windows, you have no choice. The mpm is always threaded (and was even in 1.3). This makes the warning above pretty absurd. (Although, in its defense, I'm sure the php people would point out that the big problem with php and threaded servers are non-thread-safe libraries, and the libraries people use on win32 are more likely be to be thread-safe than the typical unix stuff.)
And they have been saying this since, oh, 2000? In 6 years, ya suppose a few of those library authors have fixed their code to be thread safe? Most modern apps and new development use threads, especially if they target solaris. Even Java itself has been threaded far longer than Apache httpd. For the most part you can -ignore- this error if you have a modern system. That's not an absolute truth, but close enough for government work. Of course some of us have been using it for those 6 years in worker mode, but I wouldn't expect that caviat emptor to disappear anytime soon. The more things change...
