I might be missing something, but... what's the point of this entry?

its useful for developer who want create plugin, themes for wp. Localhost is very fast for end user than web server. so having wp installed in local machine has a gr8 advantage thnk u :)

I know what WAMP is good for, thank you very much.

I was referring to the fact that this is nothing new at all.

It's one click install with the Web Platform Installer thing.

U mean microsoft web platform??? but wamp is even more flexible to tweak :)
