Microsoft Corp. and Zend, a key supplier of tools used to design open-source software that competes with Microsoft Windows programs, said on Tuesday the two companies have struck a long-term partnership.
Bill Hilf, a Microsoft technical strategist, said the Zend deal, a multiyear, multiphase partnership, will ensure PHP programs run on past and future versions of Microsoft Web server software. The pact covers both the established Windows Server 2003 and the upcoming version, code-named Longhorn.
