I am interested in learning to program on windows....I have used a little bit of ruby on linux, but not much more than simple scripts. For windows 7 should I focus on c#, C++, VB or something else....can I stick with ruby, is it a realistic language for use on windows. I tend to think c# is the way to go, but that is just from surfing blogs. I would like some practicle advice on wndows 7 development.

Do what you like the most, though if it were me I would start off with something lower level like C/C++ as it will give you a better understanding of computers in general. If you then want to move into a faster method of programming, learn something such as C# or C++ .NET.
