I do on some GNU/Debian Linux boxes. But just for web purposes.

Fortunately, I have never tried to run it on M$ Windows. I hope I will never
have to. :-D

Now seriously, the thing is that Windows cannot compete with Linux, but it's
not only a matter of the operating system, but the port of Firebird server to
those to Operating Systems (considering M$'s an OS, which is a risky
statement :-D).

I am not aware of the differences of implementation between Firebird for
Windows and for Linux/UNIX, but in case there aren't, and supposing it uses
all advantages of Linux, then there is no chance for poor Windozes...
