The first time I see a company recommending to install VirtualBox and Ubuntu on it just to get the app to run on Windows. Better than saying Windows is not supported at all I guess :). Must be getting a lot of support tickets though. But it does look like interesting OSS project.

We're hard at work on a native Windows port. The software was released far before node.js had any Windows compatibility, and the priority has always been to make it better in an absolute sense, and then port it when possible.

This looks like what I have been thinking about developing for the last few days. Thanks for sharing, it looks really interesting and it's going to save me several days of work.
