Hi Roger It should still work as "kerberos" is an optional dependency: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/master/package.json#L79. Admittedly the npm output doesn't make it clear that the module can still function "mongodb" because it's an optional dependency.
As Jeroen said you need to have the right setup for native modules to work today for windows i.e. python and the right version of VS Express / VS installed. On the plus side I can say we are working on a better story and very soon "mongodb" should just work on windows without requiring to build anything.
