Meteor on Windows

Logically, if few people have a bug, it won't get as much resources to get fixed. It's like developing a Rails application on Windows, I can do it sure; but _should_ I?

Linux Mint is a great alternative to the clusterfuck that Ubuntu has become and it's been a simple transition from Windows 7. Multiple monitor support is intuitive as well. No configuration needed.

Wondered what your comment was about until I saw your username. Although I'm not one to really demand sites provide support for browsers without JS enabled it does seem a bit silly that the site requires JS to just display what is basically a static page.

With certain frameworks and languages, I have just decided to bite the bullet and use Linux to avoid running into bugs that the minority have.

Vagrant is also an awesome alternative to a VM or full installation of any Linux flavor. I've been playing with it and together with the subset of Linux commands that comes with MSysGit I can even SSH into the Vagrant box from the regular Windows command prompt or Console2.

This is exactly what I've done. I started a nodejs project and opted for Mint for my first actual linux experience. No real complaints after a year.

For those curious, the FAQ says that this should be addressed in the future (it presently sends HTML to search engines if the spiderable package is installed.)

>A future version of Meteor will also send HTML to web browsers on inital page load. The Meteor templating system was designed specifically to support this use case.

Though I understand the point you are trying to make, and agree with it as well, lets please not have novelty accounts here.
