You could conceivably ask any IT related question on SF and expect to have it answered but that is not our mission. LetsLet's take Windows 7 as an example

If someone says How do I use $applicaton on Windows 7 then depending on the application it could go to SU or SO (or possibly elsewhere).

If someone says How do I deploy $application across my estate then that is SF.

So *AMP stacks, they are by their own admission tools to get developers up and running quickly. They are deliberately compromised to allow this with the least resistance. Someone asking how to configure/troubleshoot them will more than likely be a developer and should be directed to an appropriate site within SE. SO for example clearly puts developer tools within their faq.

If someone asks How do I deploy this *AMP stack for the developers I support then that could be a great SF question.

If someone says How to I put this *AMP stack on on Windows 7 into production then the only answer is DON'T.

The same tools different scenarios different outcomes/places to ask.
