Interesting. I had "rails s" work out of the box on a new Ruby 1.9.2/Rails 3 installation (granted, this was on Mac OS, not Windows). I'd use Passenger if Mongrel and Thin didn't work, but I still see little point in bothering with it for development if the lighter-weight alternatives function. (I can't see how having Nginx is an advantage unless you're actually doing Nginx redirects and such.)
