    1. what do those two things have in common?
    2. what makes you think that "anyone who uses Windows" runs
       PostgreSQL on it?
    3. my guess is you're a Windows programmer, and thus in much better
       position to fix the issue than Tom RedHat Lane.

His point makes sense, Roman. While pg is not a company or a company
product, it certainly needs to play nice with business in order for it
to *have* (a significent number of) users. As much as I dislike it
(probably the euphemism of the year), Windows is a fact on most
development machines and on a substantial number of servers. In the
case of Vista, even if none of the core commiters plan to support it,
it makes a lot more sense to store the RFE and say it'll have to wait,
than to say "you got a problem? go fix it". Both attitudes reflect the
same reality, but the fact that one is positive and one negative is
obvious.

Cheers,
t.n.a.
