Their impressions are probably based on reality as it was a couple of
years ago before the U.S. economy came crashing down.

But today? Companies are trying to figure out how to do things
cheaper, and there are a lot of situations for which Postgres is a
good fit but for which MySQL is a bad fit -- if it'll fit at all.

I seriously think the native Win32 port of Postgres will make a big
difference, because it'll be a SQL Server killer. Especially if it
comes with a nice administrative GUI. :-)
