Whether you love or loath Windows, it's hard to ignore the potential market share for a project like PG. IMHO it's one of the keys to the success of MySQL, but I won't dredge up that ol' chestnut.

Is there windows distribution of PostgreSQL? I recieve contradictory information :-) Some people say there is, some there isn't. So, is there? I've been browsing www.postresql.org (http://www.postgresql.org/mirrors-ftp.html), but I don't seem to find a windows binary distribution... If there is one, where can I download it?
There is no native Windows version of PostgreSQL, yet. Plenty of people use Cygwin emulation to run PostgreSQL on Windows. Reports are that it runs well enough, but doesn't scale too well. There also exists a beta (proof of concept?) port of PostgreSQL 7.2 by PeerDirect. This is reported to work pretty well, but is not supported by the PostgreSQL development group. You can read more about these options at http://techdocs.postgresql.org .
A native Windows port is being actively developed at present. No-one knows when it will be completed, but we hope it will be ready for the next release, maybe another four to six months.

This question appears to have been posted to the lists pretty much every other day lately. Perhaps this information needs to be more prominently displayed on the front page of the site: perhaps a box containing logos for all major platforms linking either directly to the Downloads page or to more information on using PostgreSQL on that platform. I reckon that would do the trick.
