MySQL works just fine on Windows.
NT and W2K have that advantage that you can start MySQL as a service
and that you can use named pipes in client server protocol, which are
much faster then TCP ports. But on those two systems you have to take
care of users / groups.
MySQL is some 10 % faster on Win98 then on NT/W2K.
There is also a separate list for MySQL on Windows : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
