Because most Rails developers use something other than Windows, so if you start by trying to use Win, you're already fighting against the flow, and there's less people likely to be able to help you. > We have having few issues with Ruby on windows so I am just trying to > understand if there are large number of production applications on > Windows? The only production sites I've come across using Windows have used development tools like InstantRails or RubyStack as their platform - a very bad choice. They've normally done this because they didn't have the inclination to invest in the knowledge (it's really a fairly simple learning curve, or a cheap resource to out-source...) of how to get it running on *nix, and as such have left their sites running very vulnerably.
