You can get it installed somehow or other, surely, but we're telling you that 
it's probably a futile waste of effort to bother doing so.  It's not worth 
our effort to help you figure out the small problem that is thwarting you 
now, only to have you put your foot in the door, and come back with a laundry 
list of much larger problems later on.  That machine is so far out of the 
realm of hope that you are simply wasting your time to bother trying at all.  
Nothing will work well at all.  Nothing.

I'm not going to get into the who, what, and why, or whether what is better of 
it.  I'm just describing cold, hard reality.  Please try this on a real 
computer.  You'll be much happier.
