You can install Hadoop on windows if you install cygwin see http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/Tutorials/Hadoop/00%20-%20Intro.html Also Microsoft is working with Hortonworks to bring Hadoop to windows properly but for now it is only available on Azure. I understands there are plans to make it available on windows in general in the future.
