Looks good so far!  A couple things.

1) If it's on the virtual machine, does it really need you to create a
password for the notebook?  That seems overkill for this.  If it's
literally run off a CD that's pointless; I guess if it's on a USB
stick maybe that saves the password? (I don't know.)   In any case,
then there is a SeaMonkey error because it's waiting for the NB to
start at localhost:8000

2) When you click on the Sage NB or the command line, two windows come
up.  That is annoying.

But it certainly *works*, and that is very important.

Exactly what security risk would using an exe installer (say, if it
were downloaded to a Windows 7 box and someone opened the installer)
pose?  Though Cygwin will still be a "more" native solution, something
that is one-click is really the point for us.
