Thread:Project:Support desk/Mediawiki Support on Windows 2012 server and Hardware Requirements/reply (2)

The biggest issue with windows (Other then what Ciencia Al Poder mentioned, that there is a bug in php preventing non-ascii characters in uploaded files) is that certain features don't work unless you install certain utilities that are commonly present on linux. For example GNU diff3 (and configured via $wgDiff3) Without diff3 you will have constant edit conflicts. Windows also gets significantly less testing than linux, however it should definitely work.
