Switch to Linux (I recommend Ubuntu 32bit) -- and that's regardless of
Rails.

There is so much to gain by making the switch, it's not even fair to
Windows really.

The trick to making the switch though is forcing yourself to stick
with it for a month. At first it is very temping to switch back b/c
you are not sure how to do certain things.
