But you assume _everyone_ is deploying to a Linux and a server environment. What if you are writing a desktop app: a poker assistant, a contacts deduper, whatever. Some datasets strain the usual embedded dbs, and MySQL would be great... if it worked consistently on windows.

Then use SQLite, MySQL is overkill for this situation. Or better yet, use any of the FREE versions of SQL Server specifically slotted for the desktop.
