Assuming you are using virtualenv and running Vista or 7 it's pretty 
painless.  Windows XP is okayish, but you then want to work somewhere 
near C:\ like C:\Dev because the default path names contain spaces which 
makes working with the cmd.exe annoying.

they let me set up a linux-box for the project...
