Note: There is a similar question called 'installing nodejs on windows machine'.
And various answers explaining how by installing cygwin you can get it working there. 

now, I don't want to install cygwin.
I just wish I could run nodejs on a windows box.

I want a "nodejs.exe" to kick off.

Can somebody explain to me

1) why nodejs has not been ported on windows - what are the technical reasons for not providing an exe ?

2) are there any plans to have nodejs on windows ?

I really would like to use it but I can't accept that I have to accept cygwin. 
That's just not right.
