fwiw, we require students to bring Linux/Solaris/OS X laptops or a vm
with linux/solaris to our classes.
allowing Windows users to run MR apps in local mode (in an IDE for
example) would be good to support.
otherwise I'm wondering if officially not supporting Windows for
deployment will simplify things and free Hadoop developers in some
fashion.
