The last time I checked all other versions of IB had to be paid for and if 
the budget is tight, open source sounds like the answer. How expensive is a 
database that is still being developed? I think budget plays a big role in 
the choice as to which db. The last time I worked with open source was with 
Win 2000 & 2000 server. Worked great then. Is it so bad now with XP? 
Actually, I know a few systems that still works great with IB 5.5 and Win XP 
+ Win 2000 server. In 5 years not 1 of those db's ever fell over. I really 
like IB and can vouch for a stable db. Didn't know open source was so bad.
