Microsoft has managed to make "Windows" into a trademark, even though
it's by rights a generic term. Yes, I know the name of their product
is really "Microsoft Windows", but just try calling something "Windows"
and see what happens ...
Even if we avoid any trademark problems, "Postgres SQL Server" just
seems way too much like a me-too name. It *will* cause confusion
with Microsoft's product.
