I'm curious as well. That doc blurb doesn't give specifics. How is kafka run (or tested) on Windows? Natively via the command line shell, etc. or via cygwin, within a *nix VM on Windows, or via Windows 10's Ubuntu Linux Bash shell? Would be interesting to see how each method I listed performs, maybe the Windows 10 bash shell method might be most optimal among the list?
