    We do run on all platforms supported by Microsoft, embedded platforms not tested. We do support all communication protocols supported by Windows. Minimum disk space: 200MB, basically enough to unpack, install and create a few test DBs. We do run on all file systems supported by Windows, for tables larger than 4GB NTFS is necessary. We do support a lot of DB access frameworks: ODBC, .NET (1.1 or newer), JDBC (1.4.2 or larger to develop, 1.3.0 or newer to run). Packages are named a bit differently than on Unix.  By Quality: Production, Beta, Alpha. By distribition format: Precompiled binary or Source. By features and package format: Essential (MSI, only the files you'd need in production), Complete (ZIP, with setup program, installs all components used in a development environment), No installation (ZIP, for development, without installer for full control of installation). Installation does not touch the registry, so it is save to deinstall manually by wiping out the directories, if you so desire.
