From all practical accounts the ISAPI is still not stable under Windows. The claim is that PHP itself is stable, but the majority of the DLL files which provide the additional functionality (IMAP, GD, etc) are NOT stable (threadsafety I think is the issue) so unless you're doing something extremely basic ISAPI may not be the answer. Only you can tell for certain - set it up on your system and if it works, great. If it starts to crash, don't waste hours or days or weeks trying to fix it - it's not your problem. Just go back to CGI. If you're an experienced C coder under Windows, jump in and try to help debug and patch it, otherwise just stick with CGI.
