So far I haven't seen any CI or remote test-launching solution that I like better than Jenkins - it's my favorite by far :) On Windows I've found pretty much every method of launching processes remotely requires some massaging to work if you need to interact with GUI apps. Much of what Watir covers doesn't need interactive desktop access, but using RAutomation or other GUI automation libraries usually does. Anyway, for GUI testing scenarios, once you make sure the Jenkins agent has access to an interactive desktop then all should be well.
