replacement for red 7?

[Dazed_75]

As much as I would hate installing Win7 at a Linux installfest, we could
wipe the drive and do so assuming you have legitimate Win7 Install media.
The real questions would be whether it needs a secure wipe, what is the
hardware (to make sure it is adequate), and would you want us to install
VirtualBox and Ubuntu (either as host or guest OS).

While it is possible to install a Win7 without legitimate install media, I
would not wish to do so.
