I think the first thing we should do about that is to define what are the reasons for a major version change. The way this discussion is being taken will not take us anywhere... is just too much about personal opinions. Anyway, for most users a win32 port is not a big deal (after all, practically all of us are using pgsql in an unix-like system)... but a lot of Windows users that doesn`t try pgsql because mysql is just so easy to install on windows machines... and they`re much better in marketing too. Well, they have a company behind them.
