I tried my first steps in an windows environment, whenever I wanted to install a gem that needed to be "natively build" I ran into trouble, it had cost hours of googling around to get every gem building. Once I switched over to a linux powered VM and installed gcc toolchain therein, also using it for RoR dev, no more problems occured, if I had made the change earlier it had only cost about 2 hours to download that linux version and from then on all had worked in the first try. I had saved days of time in overall. Also there where problems when I tried to deploy (even a small) applications I had coded in windows, I ran into problems because of incompatibilities between NTFS and LinuxFilesystems (casesensitivity), or other things... Since I use a system that is close as possible to the one I want to deploy on, I never ran into deploying problems. This makes me stick to "Rails is not for Windows, dont do it unless you have to!"
