I am genuinely curious who is using production node.js web apps on Windows server OS. I'm sure there are niche things like a massive legacy Windows shop that's slowly moving off, or trivial load internal applications where it doesn't matter. But it would really surprise me to see someone take a major bet on running large public, internet facing load on node + Windows server.
ASP.NET + Windows, sure that makes total sense. Even C++ + Windows is solid and very performant. But node.js has always been a second class citizen with Windows support (it wasn't until Microsoft themselves put fulltime devs working on node that it supported Windows) and it's a huge bet to take with very little benefit and tons of potential failures.
