	"Major" companies? :)
	
	Well, we use it, all the time, as a useful problem solving tool for
	consulting problems. It is amazing how useful a general purpose spatial
	bit bucket can be when solving large data processing and management
	problems.
	If you search the email archives, you'll find references to I3 and
	Imagelinks, two other companies using PostGIS to handle large data
	management problems. I don't think any of us use it on Windows though.
	A large number of users make use of PostGIS on Windows, but we don't
	have any particular metric. There are also a number of government users
	managing substantial data volumes.
	
	As a free software project, our only metric of usage comes from the
	list, which is ironic, since the users who simply install it without
	troubles and use it without comment are the ones we never hear from. 
	We are now logging 500 downloads a month, and have 300 people on the
	mailing list.
