 ==== Installing Chocolatey ====
-Chocolatey is awesome. Why its not default in windows is beyond me. In essence its a windows version of a package manager like apt-get or yum. So lets have us a little bit of chocolate. First lets get a powershell prompt. Working on windows after so many years of using Linux I have found that powershell is a more friendly tool then cmd, as it is better suited to my muscle memory. It has things like ls, mkdir, mv, rm aliased to powershell commandlets. Granted the options differ, but at least in their simplest forms, you get to use familiar commands. So lets open up a powershell terminal:

+===== Running the juju tests =====
+At this point, if you followed the steps [[juju-windows|here]] you should already have a golang setup with a local copy of the juju repository.
+Navigate to that folder:
+  cd $env:GOPATH\src\github.com\juju\juju
+  go test ./...
+===== Accessing the machine from Linux =====
+Some of you might want to edit the go source from Linux using your favorite editors. To do that we can set up a share.
+  sudo mount -t cifs -o username=Administrator,password=<password>,uid=$UID,gid=$GID //<hostname>/C$ <mountpoint>
+Now all of your C drive will be available at <mountpoint>.
+As a bonus, you can use https://github.com/masterzen/winrm to winrm directly into the machine and run the test suite from the comfort of your shell. Follow the instructions provided in the github repository, but set the maximum memory allowed at however much the machine has instead of 1024. The test suite tends to eat quite a lot of memory. This does not necessarily depend on this particular winrm package, but it just simply works and will probably get integrated in juju as well soon.
-You should have the mongo version.
+===== Bonus: =====
+Thanks for tagging along, I really appreciate it.
+As a sign of my appreciation, the following commands can be run inside a PowerShell session to install firefox:
+  (new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile("https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-35.0.1-SSL&os=win&lang=en-US", "$HOME\firefox_installer.exe")
+  cmd.exe /C call $HOME\firefox_installer.exe /SILENT
+Or the package management way:
+  choco install -y firefox
+And to launch it:
+  & 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'
+You may now enjoy the simple pleasures in life once more, like giving a quick Google or downloading an MSI installer right from the comfort of your own blue-on-black free version of Windows Server
