Is anyone running Ruby on the new Windows Vista beta?  
Any gotchas?

My laptop came back today and I’m in the process of installing Vista on  
it to try it out and would be nice if it played nice with Ruby and Rails  
etc…

I’m running it, it seems to be working fine. The only gotcha I saw is  
some of the Win32API stuff doesn’t work, which I don’t quite understand  
since, but whatever.
