According to the Node.Js official Blog, Microsoft is partnering with Joyent to bring Node.Js to Windows. Read the full article here.

What ramifications does this have?

Windows 8 is supposedly going to be developed with HTML5 as the main application UI layer in mind… Meaning that Node.Js could become a major player in windows development in the very near future.

Node.Js is already poised to become a major player in device development, as it is a major component in the WebOS 3.0 framework (no details, as the NDA prevents further information until the public release).

With a Windows version of Node.Js, HTML5 \ CSS3 developers could easily port new web applications to a WebOS device… Potentially giving HP a chance to take market share from Android (though it is doubtful they will catch up to Apple).

This is exciting news indeed!!!
