Also, I'll probably be releasing a new version soon (this weekend?)
which will have a WMI::Base#set_wmi_class_name method, similar to
ActiveRecord's set_table_name for legacy tables.

Then you could write your model like this:

class Service << WMI::Base
  set_wmi_class_name 'Win32_Service'
end

and in your controller:

 def index
   @services = Service.find(:all)
 end

I like the looks of this better, I just never really had a need for it
before now.
