I have used it and recommended it as a "good way" to wipe an OS that
you have limited administrator access (to boot Linux then use shred).

Haven't used it for proper installation, but it should work. AFAIR, it
modifies boot.ini and allows you to boot into linux, then you can do
normal network install.
