I would like to know if its posible to create a desktop application with ruby and the disadvantages,
please can you give me a example? a application to use in windows
thanks
Yes you can, Sir!
The disadvantages are like there might be some difficulties doing advanced stuff for interfaces but I’m just guessing as I have no experience at all in this field.
Take a look at some solutions you have:

https://github.com/larskanis/fxruby
https://github.com/maccman/bowline (this one I just found it now and seems interesting, BUT it’s not maintained anymore :/)
http://macruby.org (for OS X only)
http://www.rubymotion.com (paid and OS X only)
Other I can think of is using Java Swing with JRuby
