Greg, We've made the decision to migrate to postgresql but we haven't completed the migration yet. I've just set it up on a linux qa server a couple of days ago. Our motivation was mainly financial. Not having to tell our customers they need a windows server and sql server license makes our products better than $10K more attractive. Since our services are in java, our application server can also be migrated to linux with little trouble. Again, making licenses cheaper for customers.
It's early days for us though. We haven't confirmed it's suitable. We'll be doing that in the coming weeks. But at this stage we're confident it will be worthwhile.
