It gets even more confusing.

So it starts there but talks about knife-windows (is that absolutely necessary?) then if you click into the standard "knife" documentation, there's a big blue box that states "Knife requires some extra gems!" - are those required if you don't plan on doing any cloud work?  I've noticed on windows, I can't do "knife ssh" without errors but I'm done flailing and don't want to just run off and start installing gems.
