Why Xampp is Good & Better ?
As we know window is paid OS, in Any Company 10-1000 Person works they can’t use windows as development they use LINUX Platform because its free, only under educational purpose we can use windows and its free with new laptop or Pc but in business company avoids to buy windows thy use Linux platform so xampp is most Popular and good rather than Wamp
Conclusion
Both is very good application , Both is works nearly same but most of developers use Xampp which is cross platform so it takes less trouble to understand when you shift to new platform.
