From the MySQL site's page about MySQL vs PostgreSQL:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/MySQL-PostgreSQL_features.html
"MySQL Server works better on Windows than PostgreSQL does. MySQL Server
runs as a native Windows application (a service on NT/2000/XP), while
PostgreSQL is run under the Cygwin emulation."
That seems pretty straightforward.
