I've heard very good things about Instant Rails on Windows. I believe
it sets up a Linux VM and installs all the tools. This makes it
trivial to have a working environment that's closer to what you'll
really be hosting on, so it removes some layers of abstraction and
translation.

Not much maintenance has been done on Instant Rails for a while. The
latest version uses rails 2.0 or 2.1 though you can install a later
rails version on it. It consists of a directory hierarchy that contains
the tools you will need to create and run a rails app on windows. It is
not a Linux VM it is just a packaged rails system with a few bells and
whistles and it runs good within the limits of windows. I use it all of
the time for deploying on windows but I prefer to develop on Linux. You
can use virtualbox and set up a Linux VM on windows and have a good
development environment or do what I do and set up your system to dual
boot Linux and Windows and maybe after a while you will forget windows
is there.
