Hi David, No, hadn't planned to support VMs of any kind. I personally have found Accumulo in a VM to be distractingly slow. I don't do Windows though, so a local install has always been an option.
The whole point of the quickstart is to install directly on a local machine in one directory. Users should be able to ignore everything and begin working immediately, well immediately after waiting for everything to download and start. But when they want to dig deeper, everything is installed. And should it be needed, users can remove the entire directory and start all over. I feel as though I am missing something in your question though.
