What are the disadvantages of Postgresql over MSSQL?
I have a DB server with one or more schematically equal databases running on MSSQL 2005. I want to migrate this server to Postgresql 8.4 (no migration to 9.x is possible due to some other reasoss). Every database has approximately 50 tables. Database tables are different, they have between 0 - couple of millions of records. There are some views defined in each DB which expose data from one or more tables. 
<BR>
Regarding security, there is only the master DB schema and only one user, so the simplest possible scenario. I do not expect any problems in terms of security due to the migration.
<BR>
What facts do I need to keep in mind if I want the migration to succeed? Are there any performance considerations? Any disadvantages of MSSQL over Postgresql?

Since the target platform will be Windows 2008 server, I was thinking that MSSQL might be better optimized for Windows platfrom due to the fact that it supports only Win platforms and no linux/unix. Am I right?<BR>
