The round() problem is because of differences in your versions of PHP,
but the fact of the matter is that the UNIX version of PHP is ahead of
the WIndows version because it is easier to program on UNIX, and there
are more people interested in programming for UNIX than Windows.
Most main stream functions will work on both platforms but there are
things like the DBM database that works on UNIX, but fails because of
differences in the Windows platform.
(See http://bugs.php.net/?id=8819)
Then there is a new image library that breaks the 256 color barrier,
that is only available on UNIX. Work is in progress (maybe done) on a
PHP extension to call it, but unless someone ports the base library to
Windows it will not be available on that platform.
I know there are other things, these are just some that I've seen
recently.
