I think everyone is overreacting to this announcement, they are just lending a hand with IOCP to Ryan as he finishes up his abstraction layer in 0.5.x. Just like they denoted some offifical resources to PHP, Ruby, Python, jQuery etc..
- chrisbuc 15y agoFor me, it's more the fact that MS have officially acknowledged the existence of node.js within a windows platform that matters, rather than any particular work they may or may not be doing.
