Is there a published information on Hortonworks, about the future support for Windows HDP installations?

Windows is still supported: http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.3.4-Win/bk_HDP_Install_Win/content/ref-9bdea823-d29d-47f2-9434-86d5460b9aa9.1.html

There have been some opinions about discontinuing Windows support due to business reasons, but there is nothing officially released. Windows Server is still a largely used operating system. It is true, very little used for Hadoop and that could be a driver for a such business decision which is pure economics.

I'm interested in Windows support as well. This answer conflicts with https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/58663/hdp-25-support-for-windows.html which states that Windows support has been deprecated.

Do you have any updated info on Windows support post 2.4.2.0?

@Anitha R

Support for Windows have been deprecated starting with HDP 2.4. The response was true for version before 2.4. There are no plans to support Windows.
