Can you even *pay* Mirocosoft to sell you a copy of Win 3.11 ? You can't - they *force* you stay on the upgrade treadmill
Yes, you can. I can download Windows 3.11 and even Windows 3.12 (Asian language thing, I think) with my MSDN subscription. I still have clients with Windows 3.1 in use where it just isn't feasable to upgrade. Getting support for it on the other hand...
Your problem wouldn't be solved with the product mentioned in the story. However, because you are using MS SQL Server, this is really easy. You just need to get the postgres ODBC Driver, and setup a Linked Server on the MS box.
Check out This page for the postgresql ODBC Driver.
You should also look at the linked servers documentation in SQL Server Books Online (under sp_addlinkedserver) as well as the interface in enterprise manager (security -> linked servers)
As I was searching a bit, I see that people have had trouble using the server.database.owner.object syntax, however using the SQL Server OpenQuery(servername, query) function seems to work, and will allow you to control the exact SQL Statement sent to postgres.
Haha, does perl work well with and easily display multidimensional data in OLAP Cubes? How about those secretaries that need to modify that report you just finished in perl?

They took away interference robustness in leopard. I miss it. Bring it back!

Ramit knows his shit.
Try structured exception handling (at least in VB.Net)

x.y to x.y+1 isn't always an incremental upgrade
Windows 2000 = Windows NT 5.0
Windows XP = Windows NT 5.1
