As it stands, I can appreciate what MS is doing; you guys aren't probably going to compete with or replace V8 or SpiderMonkey on Linux overnight, hence why getting a working Node port is a good first step of presumably many.
Regardless, this is definitely an interesting step; it would be really trippy if I end up using an entire MS stack on my Linux desktop, but it appears that might be a legit possibility.

It looks like they perform better on 50/675 tests, and worse on 500/675 tests. That is not particularly compelling. Since that was a while ago now, I really would prefer to see where improvements have been made.
Edit: Seriously, with all the down voting of normal comments like this one. If you have an issue with something someone wrote enough to down vote it at least be enough of an adult to own up to it and explain why instead of being sneaky.
