I have no issue with this, but would maybe like to see a discussion on
the user@ list first and to hear the thoughts of our Windows users (Uwe?
Steve? Shawn?)

To say that I'm a Windows user would not quite be accurate. Every place
I have actually deployed Solr has been on Linux. CentOS mostly, and
most recently on Ubuntu. I prefer the latter.
My personal workstations have always been Windows. It's a path of least
resistance -- I'm very familiar with it, and most of the games I like to
play are only available for Windows. I have recently been using Ubuntu
Desktop on my primary work machine. And I have to say that I really
like it. It was easier to transition than I had imagined. I absolutely
love having linux commandline tools available on a workstation.
With no zip, it will be a slight inconvenience for some Windows users,
but they do have tools available that can extract a tgz file. I wasn't
aware that tar had been added to Windows ... that's cool. I just
extracted the tgz on my Windows 10 desktop using it. And for users of
Windows versions that don't include tar, they can download a tool like 7zip.
Thanks,
Shawn
