See sys-proctable, available on the RAA, which serves as a 
cross-platform solution to boot.

http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/sys-proctable/

FYI, there are actually seven different ways to get process table 
information on Windows, none of which are quite the same, and one of 
which is undocumented.  The sys-proctable version uses OLE + WMI on Windows.
