Re: PostgreSQL still for Linux only?

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.

Windows: "Where do you want to go today?"
Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming, or what?"
