Can I turn this into a non-botnet workstation?

Yes. Format and install Debian stable.

Why would anyone use anything but Linux on a workstation?
>>54602295
If you're willing to go through that much effort, why not just excise the shit from 7 and do what you want?
What do you mean by workstation?
>>54602295
it should be able to do what you want right out of the box, however it's a bit overkill. what do you need to do exactly?
>>54602375
to use, you know, real programs.
>>54602295
Unplug the Ethernet cable.

Like Apache, ldap, vim, ssh, ? True, those doesn't exist on Linux...
Get outta here.

by unplugging it from any network

Stop beating around the bush. That's like asking for paint and not telling the vendor what you want to paint with it!

I get free copies from dreamspark its no different than windows 8, all it does is provide server applications such as dns, dhcp, web server, server clustering, ect... It wont give any workstation advantages, you are better off using windows 7 and using third party applications for virtual machines and what not.
