 When using Spring for Apache Kafka in a Spring Boot application, the Apache Kafka dependency versions are determined by Spring Boot's dependency management.
 If you wish to use a different version of `kafka-clients` or `kafka-streams`, and use the embedded kafka broker for testing, you need to override their version used by Spring Boot dependency management and add two `test` artifacts for Apache Kafka.
 
-IMPORTANT: There is a bug in Apache Kafka 3.0.0 when running the embedded broker on Microsoft Windows https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13391[KAFKA-13391].
-To use the embedded broker on Windows, you need to downgrade the Apache Kafka version to 2.8.1 until 3.0.1 is available.
-When using 2.8.1, you also need to exclude `zookeeper` dependency from `spring-kafka-test`.

+This version requires the 3.0.1 `kafka-clients`
 
 IMPORTANT: When using transactions, `kafka-clients` 3.0.0 and later no longer support `EOSMode.V2` (aka `BETA`) (and automatic fallback to `V1` - aka `ALPHA`) with brokers earlier than 2.5; you must therefore override the default `EOSMode` (`V2`) with `V1` if your brokers are older (or upgrade your brokers).
