Although that is obviously your prerogative it is important to remember
that Windows is easily the second most used version of PostgreSQL out
there (behind Linux).
[ shrug... ] If it's so widely used, why is it so hard to find somebody
who's willing to put in some development effort for it?
Well, from what I have seen of the Windows world there is a fairly sharp
demarcation between users and developers. So use does not necessarily
mean developer knowledge.
