Native file watching is notoriously unreliable on several Windows file systems (e.g. NTFS, since network file systems have trouble supporting change notifications). However, disabling native file watching for all Windows developers was probably a step too far, since it *could* work just fine, and we still have the fs.watchFile-based safety net, which no longer hogs idle CPU cycles for unchanged files. You can explicitly disable native file watching and use polling instead by setting METEOR_WATCH_FORCE_POLLING to a truthy value. Should help with #9175.
