RE: D++ -- The Ultimate Scripting Language
This brings up a good question: What drives someone to create a new programming (or script) language?
The ones that come to mind right away:
1. No other existing available language meets some specific features that the programmer wants/needs.
2. An existing language does provide needed functionality, but is not easy enough or quick enough.
3. New technology has arrived that requires new language constructs (very much like #1)
4. For fun, to see what the programmer can do.
5. To show off programmers amazing 133t ski11z.
All except #5 seem like good reasons to me.
Today, there are probably very few reasonable concepts or tasks that at least no freely available programming language can provide with a little coaxing.<o:p> </o:p>

RE: Send them Spam!! They want it!
As for reading mail status, look into the pop3 rfcs. I have quickly made a mail reader with php (cue php is dumb reply) that could show what is in the in box, and read the message details.

RE: The biggest WTF is the WTF software!!!
phpBB last time I installed it supported more than one database engine from my faulty memory. The trick is to set up PHP to use the storage engine you want. php on windows can talk to sql server. I have used php on windows in production environments under IIS and it seemed pretty ok. As always, configure to your tastes.
