Harald, How often do you read 2000000 rows by key in a daya to day application? How often do you insert 350768 rows in an application that you're considering Win98 as the platform?
I've never deployed MySql on Wintel, except for developing on my laptop. I always use Solaris or Redhat for serious deployments. However, Wintel was the best platform for the deployment we were talking about because that was where the experience lay. It doesn't need *nix - it's only replacing a tiny little access dastabase... Don't get so hung up on your platform preaching that you forget your sense of reality...
