Millions more developers can now play with it at work. Granted they could have been using a VM up to now but for many their machine can't handle a Java based IDE (Eclipse, Netbeans) within a VM.

Millions of developers have been able to play with it since the first release - Node likely ran under Cygwin just fine from the start.

And you don't need VMs to run Java-based IDEs on Windows - there is a native JDK you can download from Oracle and Windows runs Eclipse and Netbeans acceptably.
