Hi Jayadevan,

We're adding to our server farm, which is Windows. We use Windows as our 
application is .NET based, and related components in our systems require 
Windows. Switching to *nix is not an option.

I'm just after some assurance that all the extra 32bit components in Postgres 
will run OK under 64bit Windows. I mean allegedly *anything* 32bit is supposed 
to run under 64bit, but it's not always this simple in practice.

Any specific reasons for choosing Windows? Once in a while, I see someone 
posting issues about PostgreSQL on windows and replies which go 'Windows? 
hmmm...not sure about that ..". Of course, those were not questions about 
queries/query tuning etc. Those get answered. These questions mostly deal 
with  crashes/recovery/security related and so on.
