Open Source Node.js on Windows using IOCP = great

M$ involved in any way with Joyent and/or Node.js = really bad idea

Why the downvotes? Just for the knee-jerk 'M$' maybe?

Node on Windows is great, or at least kinda cool, but the direct involvement of Microsoft in 'embracing' disruptive upstart technologies has, historically, been a decidedly not-great thing for said technologies.

Why on earth would one assume things will be different this time around?
