Windows is frankly a pretty bad OS (and a completely inappropriate
server OS, which is a big strike against .NET unless you're using Mono).
I don't use Windows myself, but my understanding is that while a number
of people are successfully using it for Rails development, there are a
lot of common Ruby- and Rails-related tasks that work better on *nix. I
hope someone who does use Windows will provide more specifics.

Best,
