There is plenty here http://www.rubyonrails.org/show/DemoApps

Yeah, that's right. I usually work with Cygwin, but this is even slower. 
1-2 Seconds for every refresh. Now I have www.colinux.org installed and 
use Debian inside of it. It is actually faster than pure Windows or 
Windows/Cygwin (wich is very peculiar). Of course, only if you plan on 
investing 2-3 days to set everything up, you should consider using it. 
And if you are familiar with Linux.
