No, it's not.

Problems with PostgreSQL versions prior to 8.2 had problems on
Windows which resulted in early end-of-life for those versions on
any version of Windows. 8.2 has now hit end-of-life after five
years of support, and 8.3 is scheduled to hit end-of-life in two or
three months.

You should be looking at 9.1 or 9.2 at this point.

8.1.anything shouldn't be installed today, its an obsolete deprecated
version.

that said, IIRC, there were major issues with versions prior to 8.3 on
/any/ MS Windows platform.  For a new install, I would be using 9.1 or
9.2, period.

btw, this is NOT a bug report and does NOT belong on this bug report
email list, please use the pgsql-general mail list for this sort of
discussion.
