"Native Windows support using I/O Completion Ports for sockets."

"Integrated load balancing over multiple processes."

These two improvements are just the nudge I needed to start tinkering with Node. I've been following along and reading about node almost daily but native windows support and integrated focus on multiple processes make a big difference to me. I can no longer sit on the sidelines.

Thanks for picking me up and shoving me onto the field!



While I agree what windows support is nice, I have found running a virtual machine running Linux much easier even when there is official Win support. It's no different running an SSH terminal to a local system than a remote one, after all.


That is exactly what I was considering for my home use. But unfortunately many businesses will deal only with windows servers, vm or not. This brings node one step closer into the realm of plausible platform for those cases.


Can you provide a couple of examples?
