I recently re-architected our whole environment and I was pretty much given 
free rein on what the new system would be like. We are a Windows shop and I 
considered GeoDjango/Postgres (I use them both on FreeBSD at home) but I felt 
that I would run into the same issues that I have had with Oracle. The software 
simply isn't designed to run on Windows and even though you can make it work 
doesn't mean it will work well or be easy to maintain. Case in point, try to 
setup Oracle in a MS Cluster, it worked eventually but it was ugly at best...
