Future : Microsoft Will include PHP in their visual studio

    I believe in future, I think Micorosft will include PHP in the next release of Visual studio very soon. This is the only way they can retain their .Net programmers group because the way PHP popularity is increasing, lot of programmers in .net have either migrated or planning to migrate to PHP.
    I wanted to receive a feedback of other technology experts on this.

    hmm... maybe, but i doubt it, php is open source, i dont think the developers of php will agree on that.
    why would they put a price on things that is made for free.

    Truely said, who'd like to pay if there is a free alternative which is as good as the paid one is available.

    Eh? It's open source, the PHP developers (as far as I can tell from the PHP license) have no say whether Microsoft can incorporate it in their software.

    I'd be surprised if VS came with PHP preinstalled, very surprised.

    Unlikely IMO.

    Microsoft added Java in their IDE as J#, so will it be PHP# like C# or VC++?

    I doubt they will, since it has nothing to do with their programming.
    Plus Java is a compiled language ... so I don`t see the use in adding PHP.
