Ryan's Deck from Code Conf (aka the plan for nodejs on windows)

Only peripherally related, but re: non-blocking IO: at least one framework already exists to do that within the .NET ecosystem (Manos). It's by no means popular (yet--I'm hoping it catches a little fire as it matures), but it does already exist. ;-) Node is much further along, though, and would be a nice tool to have in my toolbox when I'm working on one of my Windows machines.

(IMO, however, the "behind enemy lines" crap is just that. These projects would be a lot better off if they left the poo-flinging to Groklaw and Roy Schestowitz. You want to talk about disheartening...)

I'm 99% confident from their general writing, tweeting, blogging etc. that this was highly highly Tongue-in-Cheek and irony referencing exactly the poo-flinging you now bemoan. Look how much thought they invest in making it work well on Windows. They wouldn't show that kind of motivation if they (or at least this Bert) truly believed Win was a piece of crap.

It totally could be - they've always seemed like very reasonable guys to me.
