So far I've been able to get by in Windows (for my projects at least) if I use Cygwin for interacting with paths that are longer than MAX_PATH. For example - if a project has node_modules committed in git then I have to clone the repo using Cygwin. This doesn't help with the problem related to install scripts on deeply nested components though because npm doesn't support Cygwin. In Windows I still run npm and node commands in a regular command prompt.
