The fact that people are putting so much emphasis on attracting newbies
via the Windows port seems to me to be a good reason *not* to delay 7.4
for it. If we slip the schedule for it, what we will have is a rushed,
probably not very solid port. How many newbies will we lose permanently
if their first exposure to Postgres is a buggy Windows port?

I'd far rather see it done right for 7.5 than done hurriedly for 7.4.
