A few years ago I tried RoR on windows and it was a pain. Even though RailsInstaller existed, lots of problems with packages, modules and stuff that just didn't work properly on Windows.
几年前我在窗户上尝试过RoR，这很痛苦。尽管RailsInstaller存在，但是在Windows上无法正常运行的软件包，模块和内容存在很多问题。
I'm considering starting with RoR again, and I may use it for a startup web project.
我正在考虑再次使用RoR，我可以将它用于启动Web项目。
Should I safely develop in my Windows 7 PC or it's better to set up a Linux VM for that?
我应该在我的Windows 7 PC中安全地开发，还是最好为此设置一个Linux VM？

It is still a pain to run RoR on windows. I strongly disadvise its use.
在Windows上运行RoR仍然是一种痛苦。我强烈反对它的使用。
Few reasons:
几个原因：
- Installing Ruby is still a pain
- 安装Ruby仍然很痛苦
- Installing Ruby on Rails is still a pain
- 安装Ruby on Rails仍然很痛苦
- Most of the Ruby gems are not compatible
- 大多数Ruby宝石都不兼容
I'm trying to keep objective, but there's this is the truth unfortunately.
我试图保持客观，但不幸的是，这是事实。
I strongly advise you to use a VM running Linux Mint ;)

I would strongly recommend you stick to GNU/Linux if you use Ruby on Rails. I worked on a project for seven years that was built on Ruby on Rails and supported Windows deployment. It was generally a painful experience unless there's a programmer on the team that routinely uses Windows to develop the project.
如果你使用Ruby on Rails，我强烈建议你坚持使用GNU / Linux。我在一个项目上工作了七年，它基于Ruby on Rails并支持Windows部署。这通常是一种痛苦的经历，除非团队中的程序员经常使用Windows来开发项目。
You will likely hit issues even before you reach fanaticism.
在你达到*之前，你可能会遇到问题。
Products like RailsInstaller will get you up and running on Windows but some Ruby gems are only tested on GNU/Linux and/or OSX. Gems that are "pure" Ruby are generally okay but you'll hit problems if a gem compiles native code during installation that relies on the Gnu C compiler or that the gem does not include Windows binaries.
像RailsInstaller这样的产品可以让你在Windows上运行，但是一些Ruby gems只能在GNU / Linux和/或OSX上测试。 “纯”Ruby的宝石通常都没问题但如果gem在安装过程中编译本机代码依赖于Gnu C编译器或者gem不包含Windows二进制文件，那么你就会遇到问题。
If you were the only one to use the code then, yes, you could pick and choose the gems that work. However if the project is open source and you're accepting outside contributions, or you're going to employ programmers with Rails experience, they will probably will not know which gems work on Windows and which gems do not.
如果你是唯一一个使用代码的人，那么，是的，你可以挑选并选择有效的宝石。但是，如果项目是开源的并且您接受外部贡献，或者您将雇用具有Rails经验的程序员，他们可能不会知道哪些宝石在Windows上工作以及哪些宝石不工作。
The problems are not necessarily limited to development. Those that deploy your project will find it hard to get help from forums or support channels for issues that turn out to be Windows-specific.
问题不一定限于发展。那些部署您的项目的人会发现很难从论坛或支持渠道获得有关特定于Windows的问题的帮助。
