Hi Mayur, The Mainstream support for Windows Xp has ended on April 14, 2009 (more than 3,5 years ago), and the extended support will end at April 8, 2014, so there will be less and less people still using Xp. About why the windows team dropped the support for Xp, you can see some information in the following mails: http://grokbase.com/p/php/php-internals-win/1232sef84x/internals-win-v5-4-changelog-comment-regarding-windows http://grokbase.com/p/php/php-internals-win/12322bhfcg/internals-win-about-stopping-of-build-for-windows-of-php-5-4-0 the second mail was a reply for your same question back in march.
