I run a Rails development environment on both a Windows machine and a Linux VM running on the same machine. (I actually use the Linux VM 100% of the time now for Rails).
The Linux VM is much faster - RSpec tests run 3 to 4 times faster, as do all rake tasks (again, running on a VM on the Windows machine). Nothing has changed since 2008. As I've posted before, I see no reason to develop on Windows, especially since you can get the VMWarePlayer and a Linux image for free.
