I do this also (on Ubuntu though, not Windows of course). I have several apps that I run as if they were desktop apps on my PC. One displays data from my weather station for example. A cron task updates the database from the weather station and the rails app displays the data and provides administrative operations. A conventional desktop application might be more efficient but doing it this way gives me the option of putting the database and the app on a server which would then allow access via the internet.
