    So, the best way to set up Rails on Windows is not to set up Rails directly on Windows, but in Linux VM.

    Maybe it's not such a bad thing.

    I have ran into a ton of gem incompatibilities using Ruby on Windows, however, I would just end up finding a solution for it or a work around. But I can definitely see this coming in handy.

    The SO article linked mentions http://railsinstaller.org/ near the bottom, I remember hearing good things about it, was I misled?

    Or, use JRuby?
