That's right, because it lacked Node's expansive set of robust modules. Now you can use iisnode [1] which allows IIS to host Node apps while also acting as the static file server and optionally also serving up ASP.NET/MVC/WebAPI requests. In the past I wouldn't have considered running Javascript on IIS but with iisnode, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities that can be mixed into the .NET world.

In CGI Using Node.js

Typescript is closely integrated with Node.js at this point. So there's this related open source project seeking to optimize the performance of Node.js apps running on IIS and hosting them on Azure. https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode/wiki We've seen some interesting performance gains by supplanting Node.js's HTTP implementation with the in-kernel HTTP stack, http.sys. http://tomasz.janczuk.org/2012/08/the-httpsys-stack-for-node... Disclosure: I work for Microsoft. I personally found this interesting.
In TypeScript 0.9 released
