Hi Jerome,
If you are going to use native node.js libraries, you'll almost certainly get yourself a nice time figuring out how to compile it. If you are going to use just _javascript_ libraries, you have a chance that everything will work out of the box, but I wouldn't count on it.
Windows isn't POSIX-compatible, and that's one big pitfall. For example, just imagine what would it take on windows to get processor or memory information. It's just fs.readFile('/proc/cpuinfo') on unixes, but what about windows? Yeah, that's about it.
But it's certainly possible to run linux in a virtual box or remote computer and share disk between them, so you can run an editor on windows pc, but compile and test your app in linux.

Hi All,--For various reasons, I may be switching to a Windows PC at home, but would like to continue playing with Node.I've been on a Mac for years. Am I likely to encounter any pitfalls or gotchas doing node dev on Windows?A buddy of mine reminded me that some of the add ons require a C compiler. What are my options?
