   > Airflow is a product, a platform, for scheduling, triggering and executing 
DAGs so it runs on its designed environment, Linux, but I think that by ruling 
out support for Windows _targets_ (not Windows as an OS for airflow - Windows 
programs as targets to airflow tasks) it effectively sends a message: "run it 
inside the Linux world only".
   
   This is precisely what Airflow is right now. Linux is the only 'execution 
environment' only for Airflow. There are open issues to improve Windows support 
- for example https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/12874 and 
https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/10388  - but those are not being 
actively worked on for now.
   
   We are going to discuss the scope of Airflow 2.1 right after New Years, I 
will make sure to mention Windows support as possibly important topic to cover. 
But until this is picked up by someone in the community you can get at most 
support from other community members who are also on Windows. 
   
   Sorry if that is not helpful, but this is the current state. Maybe you can 
also start a discussion thread on the devlist of Airflow about that and see if 
there is an interest there to improve support for Windows - maybe there will be 
some other community members who would like to join their forces and improve 
Windows support.
