One issue is that Kafka leverage some very specific features of the linux
kernel that are probably far different from Windows, so I imagine the
performance profile is likewise much different.

Hi All,
We want to choose provider of messaging system in our company, one of
possible choices is Apache Kafka. One of operating system that will host
brokers is windows, according to documentation:
https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#os
"*We have seen a few issues running on Windows and Windows is not currently
a well supported platform though we would be happy to change that.*"
Can you please elaborate more on this. What exactly potential issues are we
talking about? What functionalities of kafka are influenced by this? Maybe
it occurs only on specific version of windows?
Thank you in advance for any information.
