I also have the extension=php_mysqli.dll in my php.ini file uncommented.
Running phpinfo.php shows nada in the Additional Modules section.
I had the same problem when I first setup my WAMP server. What I did to get around it was to create a new folder in the "php" (c:\php) folder and called it "loadedexts" (c:\php\loadedexts) and then point it as the extensions folder in the php.ini file. Then just before I un-comment the extansions in the php.ini file, I move them from the original folder to the one I created.
The first time I install the WAMP, I was using PHP4 and it worked fine with the original extensions folder. But, for some strange reason it refuses to load some of them in PHP5 from the original folder. It worked fine afterwards so maybe it will work for you.
BTW, Installing them separately really does take up anymore time that with WAMP or EasyPHP. Its usually the configuratioins that takes up the time and you may still have to do this with WAMP and EasyPHP.
Open Source apps are usually designed with other Open source apps inmind. So, yes AMP would fuse easier with Linux. Just like IIS/MS SQL was designed for use on Windows based systems.
