We do have vTiger, which is a fork of Sugar. We also have PostBooks,
which is of much higher quality (being based on around 800 Postgres
Functions, and a Qt-based front-end for Linux, Windows, and Mac).

If I had time, I would write about bundling the Windows version of
Postgres with Windows apps, instead of MS-SQL-Express. That's what I did
with PostBooks - I took the app and wrote a Windows installer for it.
Such an article might be targeted at the Windows developer magazines and
websites...
