Business rules dictate Windows and MSSQL for me as well. Despite the fact that including MSSQL in the core would mean it has a better bare minimum amount of support, I'm strongly opposed to it being included. The core already has too many databases included. > I have a strong feeling that by embracing Windows as a first-class > platform for developing and running Django, we're enabling current and > future users to easily integrate the framework in existent business > infrastructure, which can only be seen as a good thing for the project. > Agreed. Windows should be treated as a first-class OS, but I don't think any of the core devs use Windows as their primary OS. I only know of one core dev that even runs the Django testsuite on Windows from time to time.
