At every Ruby conference and Ruby user group meeting I' ve attended it always seems that there are MANY more MacBooks than PC Laptops, AND I'd also venture to say that a good proportion of the PC laptops are actually running some variant of Linux/BSD or other POSIX OS rather than Windows. I have to admit that I have never done any Ruby work on Windows, so I can't speak for that experience. The closest I've come is a Rails app deployed on Linux which talked to an MSSQL server running in another box over a network. -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Github: http://github.com/rubyredrick Twitter: @RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale
