Full disclosure : I've contributed minor enhancements to windows support on
mongodb, so I'm biased.

I think the general statement is mongo is designed for scalability in ways
RDBMS are not. Sharding is one of those ways.

I'm not using sharding in production, or anywhere, but I am using mongo in
production.

The dev 1.5 branch is in RC status and the plan for a 1.6 production release
is 7/30 or 8/2 so sharding will soon be stable. Please see:
http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-dev/browse_thread/thread/e25d0dd94fc7d1c4#


Also, consider asking this question on mongo-user (
http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user). If someone of note is using an
unstable version of mongo in their production systems, there is a good
chance they hang out on that list.
