I'm moving the comment I made on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5114 to core-dev so we can discuss this.
The Jira indicates that there are currently 30 test failures on Windows. If this is true, and no one has report Windows test failures before now (we haven't run Windows tests in a while), then should we continue to support Windows?
If we *do* continue to support Windows, is anyone motivated to fix HADOOP-5114?
