Hi Mr. Atzberger,
 
Thanks for your suggestions.
 
Yes, I have realized that implementing Koha on Linux will be a better
decision to make. I am working on it.
 
I am going to try Koha on both the platforms, For Linux, I want to go ahead
with Debian Linux. For Windws, I would like to install on Windows 2003
Server. Then, some of those files systems aspects won't be a limiting
factor. 
 
I welcome your suggestions. May I post this response to the group?
 
Cheers,
Sekhar

I suspect Koha users who have "enough" records to worry about capacity
limits and performance as you do (and should), will implement Koha on the
better established linux models.  

The reason nobody answered you with a specific "max records limit" is
because no such thing exists.  The proper question would need to include a
specific Windows OS in question, and more specifically, the filesystem used. 
The limitation MySQL encounters is based on the filesystem (and potentially,
the bit-depth your hardware).  For example, MySQL says: "Windows users,
please note that FAT and VFAT (FAT32) are not considered suitable for
production use with MySQL."  

Their comparison of different OS filesystems is here:
