If you can, just invite him to your machine to see it in action. If  
not, is installing Ruby via the Windows one-click installer (http:// 
rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl) that big a deal for your  
friend? It doesn't get much easier than that (on Windows, anyway),  
and the uninstaller works.
