Shawn Heisey commented on LUCENE-5590:
--------------------------------------

Someone who is interested in evaluating Solr and is on a Windows machine is 
likely to simply move on to another solution like ElasticSearch if they cannot 
find a .zip download.  Or were you just talking about Lucene itself?

I personally will be OK.  I don't run actual indexes (Solr) on Windows, but I 
download the .zip fairly frequently because my own computer where I do 
development work runs Windows 7.  I know what to do, and I don't have any 
restrictions on what I can install.  There will be people who look at a .tgz 
and have no idea what to do with it, and others who will be unable to install 
the required software.
