I attached the iso image as a virtual CD and created a 40 gigabyte blank file to act as a virtual hard drive.  I then booted into it and waited a long while as it downloaded the necessary files and installed Windows.  I did all this from home as my laptop was sitting in my office thanks to a remote desktop sharing protocol called <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Virtual_Network_Computing\">VNC<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIsn&#8217;t technology cool now adays?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a new laptop for work today.
