rvm faq says to use Pik since rvm is not for Windows
i have installed the new version of ruby p290
should one run several ruby versions?
is the new ruby not version agnostic?
will this project use the new version anytime soon?

Don't understand your question.
Pik will allow you to install and switch between versions of Ruby, you
don't need to install or use multiple versions of Ruby if all your
projects work with the version you have installed (I presume
1.9.2-p290)

What you mean by this? Ruby 1.8.x differs on features from Ruby 1.9.1
and 1.9.2, so RubyInstaller and Pik install them separately.

Pik depends on exerb to generate the executable which is limited to
Ruby 1.8.7, however the version of Ruby Pik uses to build itself has
no importance to you as you use the final result: the executable.

thanks for a good answer and quick reply
i see your point to edit a ruby application written on prior versions
one will need the right ruby version that the app was written using
version switching rather than say make a safe-subset of all-ruby like the polyglot-html5 set
