Hi Ashish: While Ruby was initially developed on Linux, it has very good support for COM and Win32 system services. Clean design with true object-oriented programming experience on Windows makes it a winner. Just to give you a flavour of what's available on Windows, here is the list - ruby-mswin32 zlib-lib ZLib RubyGems Rake RubySrc FXRuby FXri SciTE OpenGL GLUT SWin VRuby Expat XMLParser Hpricot RubyDBI DBD/ODBC windows-pr win32-file-stat win32-file win32-clipboard win32-dir win32-eventlog win32-process win32-sapi win32-sound log4r Programming Ruby OpenSSL Iconv readline PDCurses GDBM That's what gets installed when you download and install ruby for windows. Hope this helps. thanks Saifi.
