I didn't really read through everyone's suggestions but it may be even more helpful to get a good Linux distro, like Ubuntu. It's fairly easy to install and that way you won't muck up your Windows installation either. Plus, there are TONS of tutorials on how to install rails on Ubuntu or another flavor of Linux. If you have a Mac at your disposal it would be the trendy way to go too! But, Linux works just as good. Not to mention, using Linux will force you to become more knowledgeable about the underlinings of your entire stack (the software that drives your product). It's definitely a good thing.
