It's just that for development (of anything other than Windows-specific software), or for server usage (of anything other than MS technology stacks or stuff specifically to support Windows), Windows is usually a rather poor choice. (Not to knock it completely; it's a perfectly fine OS for non-technical end-users, it runs on much cheaper hardware than Macs, and Visual Studio is fairly good.) Thus, most Ruby geeks are already running Macs and/or Linux -- often developing on Mac lappies and then deploying to a Linux server. -Dave -- LOOKING FOR WORK!
