Ease of use is VERY important, but few suggestions that address this are

concern, but "how" you set it up and deploy it is VERY important. You guys
need to remember, people are coming from a world where MySQL, Oracle, and
MSSQL all have nice setup programs.
"nice" must be in the eye of the beholder. I have used Oracle's installer
to install a client and was not amused by it need hundreds of megabtyes
to do a client install.
I second that. I have not found *anybody* who has used Oracle's
installer to install the actual database server on Linux or Solaris who
has described their installation proceedure as either "nice" or "easy."
In fact even reading the installation isntructions is enough to give you
second thoughts.... MS SQL does have a nice installer, however, as do
most binary open source products for Windows. I am completely confident
that PostgreSQL for Windows, when it arrives, will have a nice GUI-based
installer.
