I am -1000 on this.

The code does not pass tests on windows.  Using java8 you force me to use a 
Virtual machine which sucks.

Using Windows subsystem for Linux gets you ubuntu 14.04 which does not have 
native support for JDK8.

Basically please don't do this until you have a solution for Windows 
developers.
