That is probably because you are starting command.com (MS-DOS emulating
command interpreter) instead of cmd.exe that is the native NT interpreter.

My opinion is that this should be done internally by the Win ver of Ruby. So
it chooses the correct shell (command/cmd).

It look awkward. Luckily I found Ruby and apparently (which I discovered
later) so did Andy and Dave :-)

I could help with the Win32 specifics on how to determine the OS type and
version if you could get someone to do the Ruby internals. I don't know
who's done the port of Ruby to Windows. Maybe you know?
