Hi M.Manna, Thanks for the update. If possible, can you please share which admin I/O level functionality will impact? Do you mean something related to log files renaming? In documentation, there is no pointer with respect to I/O. Kindly advice.

However, user base is growing and there's a momentum to support Windows OS seamlessly like Linux. I have been running some stress tests on Windows and the performance is quite consistent. If you have any findings you would like to share, please publish them. Please read Kafka documentation where there are some disclaimers regarding OS support.

We rely on the community to test/fix/answer any Windows questions, same as with Linux or MacOS. However, based on what I've observed, perhaps there are more people answering Linux-related questions.
