RubyMicrosoft

As you probably know, this blog started out with an exploration of using Rails on IIS. It has brought me a lot of traffic, some nice emails and IM chats and a warm fuzzy feeling as I read the comments saying how much help my article has been.

But I gave up on Rails on IIS a while back. Not because it wasn't possible, not because I'm anti-MS, but because I got tired of feeling like I was swimming against the tide as I tried to configure Ruby and Rails. Oh, and I can use Capistrano too.

This does have knock-on effects for Microsoft. My new project will not be running on a Windows server any time soon. It won't be using IIS or SQL Server. I've left them behind. And, today at least, I don't miss them.
