If it is that slow they should just offer ready made virtual machines that
can be installed for testing, or create some Amazon images for it. The
Amazon part may be easier as the licensing is taken care of, but with local
virtual machines will that be an issue? Who wants to spend 2 hours
installing a piece of software, go though complicated licensing steps just
to discover its bugs?

This is why Linux rules.
