There are other reasons besides superior technology for choosing MySQL over Postgresql. For one, I program in Perl and use the very excellent Active state debugger on a Windows XP box. There is no DBI module for Postgresql under Windows so I can't walk through my code if I choose PGSQL. I also use a Windows box because my editor (PFE32) can be set up for my keyboard while Linux(any version) cannot. Until Linux decides to support keyboards with function keys, arrow keys, pgup, pgdn,home,end, etc. and makes ALL the keys do exactly the same thing under every program (delete and backspace in particular) I will never be able to work at a Linux desktop. Sure I would like to have features such as stored procedures and triggers and all that, I am not willing to program with no debugger and use vi as an editor to do it.
