! <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>. A separate installer

! This is the first release of <productname>PostgreSQL</> to
! natively support Win32. As a result, the Windows port of
! <productname>PostgreSQL</> is less mature and likely less
! stable than <productname>PostgreSQL</> on Unix. While we have
! done our best to produce a high-quality release for Windows,
! users accustomed to the stability and maturity of
! <productname>PostgreSQL</> on Unix may not be satisfied by
! the current state of <productname>PostgreSQL</> on
! Windows. We expect the maturity of the Windows port to
! significantly increase in the future. We encourage all
! prospective users of <productname>PostgreSQL</> on Windows to
! carefully evaluate the database system before putting it into
! production use.
