    7.4 windows version?

    I know that postgres runs under Cygwin. It was announced that 7.4 would
    have a windows native version or some such. I have found nothing but
    Cygwin versions however.

    I have a situation where I'm building an application and Cygwin is
    obnoxious to work with from an installation viewpoint (i.e. creating
    the installer) plus it is additional overhead and maintenance that I'd
    rather not deal with in a deployment situation. So I was wondering
    what the status on having a windows native release is? I really REALLY
    would like to use postgresql for this application, but I want to avoid
    having to write my own Cygwin install script for non-technical users
    who have never heard of Linux.

      Native Windows support is slated for 7.5 (which is nearing beta at
      this point).

                      The Object Management Group (OMG) would be smiling too if they read your
                      post. I wonder if they ever considered the more divine translation :-)
