I agree about the cloud solutions. I've used the unofficial Windows version and had some problems, but I am loving cloud development with Meteor.

If you are interested in trying it out, I wrote up an entire tutorial on how to get set up with cloud development in Meteor and included a screencast.

Windows support is not yet official and win.meteor.com outlines some workarounds, the better ones which include utilizing a virtual machine. There is a suggested native solution (launchmeteor.exe), although unofficial, with key difference (for some developers) being Meteorite not work on Windows yet.

According to the roadmap trello board https://trello.com/c/ZMvnfMfI/11-official-windows-support official windows support is targeted for 1.0 if time permits, but it seems very unlikely.

For interim portability, you may want to have a look at cloud solutions like nitrous.io at http://help.nitrous.io/meteor-app/ which runs the dev environment on the cloud but has a windows desktop app http://blog.nitrous.io/2014/02/25/nitrous-desktop-is-now-available-for-windows.html which at least lets you develop locally and sync to your nitrous.io cloud box.
