[sNip] I have one client who still uses Windows 2000, but it's not because of budgetary or technical issues, rather it's a matter of personal preference for the developer -- we're slowly getting him over to Windows XP (this project to move to XP has been going on for many years). For all my other clients who used Windows 2000 at some point, many of them have long ago upgraded to XP or 2003 or Vista, and today most are on NetBSD Unix (after the disaster that was Vista, it was dead-easy to convince people to switch to Unix for their database server needs). I'm not concerned about Windows 2000 support at all. What I do like is that PostgreSQL 9 supports 64-bit Windows natively because all the Windows 7 installations I've been involved in are 64-bit (the only reason I would approve 32-bit is when there is a specific hardware limitation, but that's usually cured quite easily with more money). -- The Lumber Cartel, local 42 (Canadian branch) Beautiful British Columbia, Canada http://www.lumbercartel.ca/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
