[07:12] <jpalmer> up_the_irons: Thanks!   The virtio driver seems to have worked.  it sees the disk now.  We'll know shortly if things like ethernet controller work.

[11:48] <jpalmer> so, windows appears to run well in the VPS.  load up the right drivers,  and off to the races.   It actually runs suprisingly decent in 768m RAM.
[11:48] <jpalmer> a little slow when switching apps and such. so, I'm asking for a bump in RAM..  but overall,  I'm kinda impressed.
[11:57] <avj> would you care to share with the class the purpose of this painless-sounding exercise?
[11:57] <avj> painful, is of course what i meant
[11:59] <jpalmer> it wasn't painful.   load ISO,  install.  select drivers, done.
[12:00] <jpalmer> if you mean, why do it?  I needed a windows VPS,  and wanted to use ARP instead of finding another windows VPS provider

[12:09] <avj> sorry, meant more about what the use case for it would be. and was just poking fun at the idea; no malice intended.
[12:13] <jpalmer> use case is: I have very flakey internet at home. (I live in a very rural area)  and need a reliable and always-on windows instance to run a piece of software that is very sensitive to network latency
[12:13] <jpalmer> (My internet goes out for mild storms, sometimes for 2-3 days until I can get them out to fix the lines.)
[12:14] <avj> ah, very cool. except for the part about the connection, that is.
