A 64-bit FYI...

If, like me, you got duped into buying a 64-bit Vista box, know that it can be used as a reasonable development box.

One thing I stumbled on was setting up Apache as a service. I had to use a precompiled version. Hopefully this will allow for module updates. Nonetheless, here's how you make it a service under Vista:

cd \
cd Apache2
cd bin
httpd -k install

If you suffer the same plight as me, let me know your experiences. As an FYI, ApacheLounge.com was an indispensable resource in getting this box set up.
