Unfortunately, that kit requires Windows. Buying a Windows license
(Microsoft still wants money for those, right?) and setting up a properly
isolated VM just for this is too much trouble for me. I haven't run
Windows in a long time and have no intention to change that any time soon.

Besides, I'm more comfortable on ${UNIX} anyway.

But thanks for the pointer.

Kind regards,
           Alex.
