+On Windows, prerequisites can be installed using officially provided
installers:
[Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/),
[CMake](https://cmake.org/download/), and
[Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) should provide the prerequisties
to verify the C library; R and Rtools can be installed using the
[official R-project installer](https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/windows/).
-Arrow C++ can be built from source. The version of bash provided with
-Git for Windows can be used to execute the Arrow C++ build commands and
-the verification script.

+Unfortunately verifying Python via the release verification script on Windows
is not currently possible, thus successful verification requites `TEST_PYTHON=0
./verify-release-candidate.sh`.
Review Comment:
@WillAyd I think the symlinking doesn't work on Windows so I get a failure
when I try to run the release script there. Let's maybe punt this one to get
the release out 😮💨
