I'm very excited that it's possible to have normal hosting for shared SaaS, and dedicated deployment for enterprise accounts.

Congrats Mitchell! I've been a raving fan of vagrant 30 seconds after I learnt about it 1.5 years ago. Engine Yard has been fans. We use it and want our customers to use it. Thank god you have kept working at it so diligently for these 2 ye

RubyStack is great - it installs lots of things you need for running Rails in production on Windows, I think. Like Apache and MySQL server, etc. The 20-panel wizard is sort of off-putting, if you really want to be fussy. I don't think RubyS
