yeah, I know!
this is a netbook with a dual core 1.6Ghz Atom. not very powerful.
I also don't have any installation media, all I have is the running
Windows system, so I'd have to figure out how to turn a "real" machine
into a VM. I know its doable, I'm just not sure I want to go that route.
but thanks for the suggestion!
