The more important is get a Windows version on the way. pgAdmin2, PostgreSQL Windows GUI, will soon be included in the Dev-C++ development environment, as per discussion with Colin Laplace. Native tools for Windows can have a huge success. Dev-C++ had 1.200.000 hits over the last years. > Without some buy-in from the core team, I'm not sure I am willing to spend > my time on it.

This will give you the required user base to transform PostgreSQL into a multi-platform RDBMS. If we add together direct downloads on http://www.postgresql.org and from partner sites (Dec-C++ on http://www.bloodshed.net), we could well reach the number of 1.000.000 downloads a year under the Windows platform.
