Windows is frankly a pretty bad OS (and a completely inappropriate server OS, which is a big strike against .NET unless you're using Mono). I don't use Windows myself, but my understanding is that while a number of people are successfully using it for Rails development, there are a lot of common Ruby- and Rails-related tasks that work better on *nix. I hope someone who does use Windows will provide more specifics.
