To be fair - they have an incubator program they're already running to encourage NodeJS adoption: "The company's Node.js Incubator Program is designed for companies, startups, and individuals doing interesting things with Node. Members will receive Joyent’s training and support, $25,000 worth of services in Joyent Cloud Hosting, tools and debugging, access to Node project leader Timothy J Fontaine, plus marketing and networking opportunities." I can totally understand why they'd not want to _pay money_ to people who switched. That said since Node and IO are compatible I don't get why they'd want to slow progress like that - they're hooking people on their cloud services (which will work just fine in IO code) their ecosystem (the package manager NPM works on both IO and node) and their services. They could totally at least make a more reasonable statement than "What's IO".
