“A series of packages that provide Ruby interfaces to Win32 systems and  
services. This project supports Windows NT, 2000 and XP _only_”

The above is from [http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils/)  
So, Windows 2003 Server is not supported?

I’ll let Dan or someone else give the definitive answer, but I’m sure  
Windows 2003 Server is supported. The line you quote really intends  
to exclude Win95/98/ME.

Yes, everything should work on 2003, though I haven’t personally tested  
on that platform. I suppose I should change the description line to  
“This project supports the Windows NT family of operating systems  
only”.
