Owen, Kudos to you for using all this on a win32 platform, I remember I had _a lot_ of problems running rails or ruby apps on windows, sometimes. But maybe I just don't have the patience, being used to linux.
Glad to hear you want to try JRuby! That's pretty cool, I'm already using it (interfacing with Rapidminer, a java datamining app). It's really cool, especially since the whole business world is totally focused on java. I did not yet try rails on jruby - but well, now that you mention it, why not :) I can imagine the pushback you are facing when using something like ruby or rails in the business world. Although I'm don't have much to do with it, we are encountering it a lot at university. I don't understand it, it's like things other than Java or similar business standards don't even exist and are evil - without a real reason.
