Hello.
Could you please help me with choosing between WAMP or XAMPP?
I'm working on a Windows (Vista) platform.
In your opinion.......which is better WAMP or XAMPP?
Are there better alternatives to either?
Thank you.

    I'm using XAMPP for my localhost, it's perfect. I'm using Windows 7. I never tried WAMP yet.

    This can get to be a long discussion as the answer can/are very subjective.
    Here's my short version:

    If you're not a power user and using windows:
    go with WAMP as that's a windows application only
    and may be more familiar to you.
    If you want to go with XAMPP then go with XAMPP LITE
    which will have everything you need and no extras that you won't use.

    For mac, there's XAMPP for macs and other options.

    I mostly use XAMPP Lite or other paid options.
    Of course you need to assess your specific needs
    Above are general recommendations..
