I hope everyone reads the post and not just the subject, which is misleading.

The tl;dr is: Microsoft will stop building the .exe's themselves, but PHP will still happily run on Windows. The community will most likely step in and build those binaries themselves.

For the common user, nothing much will likely change. They'll still be able to download the binaries straight of php.net, someone else will just have built them instead of Microsoft.
