As a consumer-facing corporate web developer, I am constantly thinking about the design decisions sites make and whether there's anything I can glean from the perceived approach. When spending my time on apachefriends.org this week, it was always on my mind, especially with the narrow layout and that baby icon (seriously spent 5 minutes thinking... 'but... why?').
Unfortunately, I am required to code on a windows machine for my current 9 to 5, so I am fairly limited as to what tools I have to get a LAMP stack up and running quickly and locally. So, XAMPP is my homie for now and it's site is one I kick around from time to time, especially when trying to figure out how to turn off AsychDNS in the curl library (yea... you have to rebuild the lib... fun stuff).
Regarding the download pages, I feel the versioning makes sense if you assume the higher XAMPP version correlates to the higher PHP version, which makes sense to me.
