installing ubuntu in a VM is an indirection for me. node.js is easier in the setup process for Windows but async and callbacks are not straight forward!

NOT trying to start a 'flame war'. Just trying to understand. I can appreciate that some people have work/client requirements that dictate their 'main' OS is Windows, but for those developers with a choice, typically the best environment is not Windows. Having said that, if you develop in C#, I can see that Windows may be 'best'. If you are developing for iPhone etc. then OSX would be 'best'. But, in most cases, Linux is the most efficient and powerful.
