Many people on these lists believe that PostgreSQL on Windows will never "good enough" because Windows itself is not "good enough". That said, from the noises I have heard the Windows port works well. It's still the 1st release so only time will truly tell just how solid it is, but we haven't heard of to many problems. What are you looking todo? I might not be willing to run a bank on the windows port, but I would surely run a simple web app.
Hello Bjørn, we are running a handfull of PostgreSQL installations on Windows Server 2000 and 2003 for web-mapping applications and they are running well for the last 8 months.

It seems like the conclusion should be that PGSQL 8 works very well under Windows but maybe for Windows NT something else should be used; it seems like too much hazzle to get it to work....
