I have two suggestions:
The wording:
"PostgreSQL runs on all modern Unix-like operating systems and with 8.0
even on NT based Windows Systems."
The "even on" might raise an eyebrow or two, at least if you're new to
Postgres. Most databases that I know of run on Windows and there's
nothing special about that. Perhaps you could write:
"PostgreSQL 8.0 runs on all modern Unix-like, and Windows (NT-based)
Operating Systems."
You mention "Client programming languages and interfaces" but not
"Server programming languages". IMO, the ability to use a variety of
languages (psql, perl, tcl, java, C, ...), for your triggers and
functions is a great feature.
