Because RoR on Windows is painful.  It just doesn't seem to be supported as
well.  You can do it, lots of people have; but most people  doing RoR seem
to be using Linux or Mac OS X.  And all the advice, tutorials and help from
your fellow developers are going to be biased in that direction.

started through Windows Service Manager much like other Windows processes
that are meant to run in the background.
