I hammered the betas on a couple of test boxes running Windows XP and
.NET Server of various (pre)releases and found it to be rock solid,
performing comparably to my Linux based systems. The Cygwin version fell
over quite quickly under the same tests.

I'll admit my methods were not particularly scientific, but over the
last few weeks I've had far more grief from DB2 and SQL Server than I
did from the PostgreSQL native betas.
