RoR 3 on Windows?

I am a complete beginner in RoR.

Is it possible (or advised) to run RoR 3.x on a windows machine (xampp) for development? I was able to run the start page (http://localhost:3000), but not any subpages (http://localhost:3000/posts), because the rewrite does not seem work. I read about Phusion Passenger, but that 开发者_运维技巧is not available for WIN

thanks!
