First things first: there's an ActiveRuby?! Well, not that noone saw it coming
or anything. Actually, took ActiveState bloody long now that I think of it.
Still, this is the first time I saw it mentioned at all.

I suppose very little. ActiveState tends to bundle some extra Windows-specific
stuff along with its language distribution. Like the wsh integration,
possibly some other libs too. IIRC, their Python distro also had quite a bit
of extra documentation bundled with it.

I doubt it. Whatever floats your boat, I say. I'd personally stick with just
one myself to avoid version mixup lossage, even if that's somewhat unlikely.
