hmm never ran it under windows but I''m curious if using cygwin or
jruby might be an option.

Other windows tools I am aware of are pik https://github.com/vertiginous/pik
and IronRuby
http://www.ironruby.net/

OP I''m not going to tell you to switch OSes and you have a very good
question. I am curious myself of the best practice for development on
the windows platform.

Keep in mind though that Ruby was built on the UNIX technologies and
concepts. (matz uses debian sid if my trivia is correct). If you run
into any real issues where errors are not user error consider taking a
more pragmatic approach to learning rails in it''s native programming
environment.
