Taken from FAQ :

   The database server can run on Windows NT and Win2k using Cygwin, the
   Cygnus Unix/NT porting library. See pgsql/doc/FAQ_MSWIN in the
   distribution or the MS Windows FAQ on our web site. We have no plan to
   do a native port to any Microsoft platform.

However, you could download cygwin from www.cygwin.com; set up an Unix
environment in a windos having NT kernel and then compile PostgreSQL;
which "I" would not offer you to do.

It'll be better for you to get used to Linux...

BEst regards.
