First detailed in October, with a beta program having begun last month, Zend Core 2.0 offers enhanced Windows performance.
Applications will run two to three times faster on Windows with this version of Zend Core, Mark de Visser, Zend chief marketing officer, said.

Version 2.0 of Zend Core is intended to provide a unified front for Windows by enabling developers to both build and then deploy their PHP applications on Windows platforms.
