Re: R: Postgresql 12.x on Windows (vs Linux)

We're one of those "stuck" in windows, as are most of my clients; 
Application licenses, Windows platform licenses, Remote desktop 
licenses, Terminal Server licenses...on and on.

A five year examination of licenses and application costs are staggering.

Our wish is to be free of those costs, and have a significant edge
on our competition....or at least use the hundreds of thousands of 
dollars for other uses.

Best to be knowlegable of both to see how clearly your being ripped off.

But I do understand the walls you'll encounter trying to change the IT 
infrastructure.

People get a new phone, and don't make a peep about all the learning 
they do; but dare you take away they're Excel spreadsheet..murderer..

Just saying,
