Just to clarify, support for Windows on Cassandra is there in 2.2, and that is what Jonathan was referring to in his keynote. Support for an OS and having a Support Team are two different things (DataStax's support team supports DataStax Enterprise licensed customers).
Also, Cassandra Summit was a conference for Cassandra, hosted by DataStax. Throughout Jonathan's keynote, he was addressing Apache Cassandra, not DataStax Enterprise. Hope that helps clear the muddy waters!
