PostgreSQL 8.0 comes with a native Windows version. So the "Unix guru"
argument does not exist anymore.
One could even say that PostgreSQL's installer is better than the
Firebird one, as it allows you to specify a user account to which the
PostgreSQL service is bound. With Firebird, you have to do this
manually in order to try to secure your installation.

PS:
I am using Firebird anyway ;-)
But currently examining it, I have to admit that PostgreSQL is quite a
nice database, too.
