PostgreSQL ROI
For us, the ROI was almost immediate. We saved several $100k in license costs alone. Overall, the manpower costs to support Postgres and Linux will depend on whether those skills already exist in your enterprise. If you plan to take a Postgres system live in production, I strongly encourage you to look into commercial support.

In the cases I've seen ROI was very good and it touched visible aspects from reduced ETA of developed applications, to better performance, easier maintenance and faster support.
As it's open source the ROI is quick.

Since it's completely free, the ROI means only the time spent by the team to get the database up and running, and the time maintaining it. I'd say it doesn't compare with any other solution I've worked with before.

I recommend Linux installation, but it is also possible to use Windows. With PostgreSQL you don't have to pay much money which is a good advantage. You have to take into account that you will spent some time finding out how to implement something or what is the right tool you have to use.
