Just another screencast to show how easy to install Drupal 4.7 on Windows using Apache, MySQL and phpMyAdmin. From the screencast, it took about 3 minutes to install from scratch including download the package. Most of this installation time was spent for configuring database user. So, it would be easier on Linux if he just uses mysql_setpermission to create database and grants privilege to the demo user.

Actually, I don’t care how long it take to install. I do care how to extend its capabilities. Imagine that I have to patch the code to add some dynamic texts in some parts of contents. It’s not funny thing to keep the code up-to-date when you want to upgrade the software to newer version. Drupal offers highly modular approach for easy customization without modification on the main code.

Thanks mk.
