Personally, I find the anti-windows bias that has been shown in this thread by some developers to be disappointing. Maybe it sucks to program in, and maybe it's not as stable as unix (though I don't put much water in that argument anymore), but the fact is there's still a LOT of places that are windows shops and a LOT of people who use windows more heavily than *nix. More important, the egotism of "If you want to use PostgreSQL you better run it on what we tell you to run it on" is certain to turn people off of PostgreSQL. It will certainly turn off windows developers who might have been interested in working to improve PostgreSQL now that it runs on windows. -- Jim C.
