This is the first PostgreSQL
! release to natively run on Microsoft Windows as a server. It
! can run as a Windows service. This release supports NT-based
! Windows releases like Win2000, XP, Win2003. Older releases
! like Windows 95, 98, and ME are not supported because these
! operating systems do not have the infrastructure to support
! PostgreSQL. A separate installer
! project has been created to ease installation on Windows:
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller.
!
! Previous releases required the Unix emulation toolkit Cygwin for
! Win32 server support. PostgreSQL
! has always supported clients on Win32.

! This is the first release of PostgreSQL> to
! natively support Win32. As a result, the Windows port of
! PostgreSQL> is less mature and likely less
! stable than PostgreSQL> on Unix. While we have
! done our best to produce a high-quality release for Windows,
! users accustomed to the stability and maturity of
! PostgreSQL> on Unix may not be satisfied by
! the current state of PostgreSQL> on
! Windows. We expect the maturity of the Windows port to
! significantly increase in the future. We encourage all
! prospective users of PostgreSQL> on Windows to
! carefully evaluate the database system before putting it into
! production use.
