It won't end up being a second-class citizen, it already is. I wrote about this 6 years ago(!) http://www.rubyinside.com/is-windows-a-first-class-platform-... .. shortly after that I ran a panel at Euruko where I asked both the audience and Matz their opinions for Windows support and no-one really cared. It's only through the efforts of a relatively small and dedicated group of people that we have Ruby running on Windows whatsoever.
