Just FYI, it can work on Windows. But it's not pretty. I have written articles about getting my ruby apps to run on Windows, but they don't get a lot of feedback, so I don't know if they're very successful. Also, if you don't have a good ssl library, it won't work. And that's really tricky.
I think people just give up and run Linux in a VM at that point (or go VPS).
