It does work on Windows, but it's a pretty unpleasant process, particularly if that's your only reason for installing Ruby (i.e. you aren't doing any actual Ruby development and just want to run the site generator). I was collaborating with a bunch of people on a website designed to use Jekyll and I got really tired of talking Windows users through the point of installing the whole Ruby environment just so they could generate content. It's a huge hurdle to have to get non-developer users over.
