Difference between Wamp and Xamp

Xampp is a powerful and resource taking than WAMP.    If your applications need to deal with native web application only, I prefer using WAMP.

Wamp is a bugs free than XAMP. Usually Xampp never ever worked with sessions, always give a lot of errors. Also, it's a bit harder to secure. While Wamp, you only have to click the wamp  icon and choose "put online" to make it available from other computers, or "put offline" if you only want it accessible from the local computer.


WAMP
(Windows, Apache, Mysql, PHP)
XAMPP
(Apache, Mysql, PHP, Perl)
Doesn't Have SSL XAMPP also has SSL feature
WAMP runs only on Windows (either 64/32-bit) XAMPP is NOT cross-platform. There is XAMPP for Windows, XAMPP for Linux, for Mac and for Solaris, but each pack contains different pieces of software, runs differently with different performance, etc. (cross-platform means that you take the exact same piece of software and it runs the same way on different platforms ... like Azureus used to be: a jar that you could use the same way)
WAMP is lighter (mostly the basics). Everything that's AMP is there, beyond that you have a couple of tools ,phpMyAdmin, sqlite, xdebug. You need SSL? You have to configure it. You want access to mail server? Must install it yourself. FTP? XAMPP for Windows is bloated, big time. You have mail server, FTP server, accelerator, web-dav, ssl out of the box, etc. Do you really need them all? It's not exactly an entry-level package, but in general it makes installation of everything much easier. Beyond that, any customization requires the same effort as for any other pre-made stack.
