i'm not going to worry overly about the underlying windows install
-- as i mentioned, i was *asked* if i could avoid overwriting the
windows that's already on the laptops, so it's not a big deal if that
happens. they're all training laptops so they're used to being
reimaged on a regular basis, it's just easier if i can avoid it.
