That's definitely not in any way, shape, or form, what I had in mind.
  I meant something that appears to the user very similar as the OS X
Sage App.  Since you (Keshav) maybe don't use OS X, you might not know
what that means.

This would be a brand new Windows Application that (1) launches the
headless VBox machine, when the OS X App would launch the command line
Sage notebook server, and (2) pops up a web browser pointed at ones
list of published worksheets.

One other thing that would make this massively better.  It would be
cool to modify the notebook somehow so that it could store all the
worksheets on the host Windows filesystem instead of inside the VM.
Right now, when people delete the VM and install a new one, all of
their worksheets simply vanish forever, and they likely shout out
curses at Sage (rightfully so).
