Hi,

Even though using nginx on Windows goes way over my head (even for development) and/or seing WIndows as any kind of server,
It's very simple - this system was set up many years ago and I was uncomfortable at the time with running Linux -- not with the stability of Linux at the time and not with my skills administering it. The next server that I will set up for production will be a Linux machine, but until then I'm stuck with Windows.

I was using IIS as a web server for many years, until about five years ago I "saw the light" and upgraded to nginx. Having nginx available for Windows is a great thing because it serves as a stepping stone and allows Windows users to make smaller changes to their systems rather than one big change.

I read that Windows Vista+ support the poll (well, actually WSAPoll <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms741669.aspx>) system call. Since XP may now reasonably be called something of the past, would not it be nice to go for it? No epoll, though.
I agree that XP is out of the picture now, and the servers that I need to support are 2008R2 which are built on the Vista code base so this system call is supported.

Can you explain briefly how WSAPoll would help here?

Thanks,


Igal
