Super secure Thanks to Zorin OS's immunity to Windows viruses you will never have to worry about any of that nasty malware. And when a potential security threat arises, software updates usually come in a matter of hours. With Zorin OS you are sure to have peace of mind.
Zorin OS is a multi-functional operating system designed specifically for newcomers to Linux. It's based on Ubuntu Linux, so you can rely on it for rock-solid performance, dependability and support.
Zorin OS gives users more flexibility. It allows you to use Zorin OS alongside your current operating system and run Microsoft Windows programs in Zorin OS with the help of WINE and PlayOnLinux.
Easy to use, familiar desktop The main goal of Zorin OS is to give new users easy access to Linux. That is why Zorin OS incorporates the familiar Windows 7-like interface by default to dramatically reduce the learning curve of this system while still experiencing the main advantages of Linux. You can also utilise the desktop with other interfaces. This is thanks to the exclusive Zorin Look Changer which lets you change your desktop to look and act like either Windows 7, Windows XP or GNOME 2 in the free versions of Zorin OS. The Premium editions also include the Windows 2000, Unity and Mac OS X looks.

So does Win10 allow you to choose manual options in update options like previous versions of Windows?
Stuff like this drives me nuts because I have a whole bunch of remote PCs streaming wildlife cameras in the middle of nowhere and if the OS or other software needs to restart it interrupts the stream until I can remote log on and start it again. Worse case scenario the OS tries to reboot and the streaming software is still running so it hangs the shutdown. Then I have to get out there and restart on site. If Win 10 doesn't have options in setup for this and I have to replace a PC running a previous OS it going to be a nightmare.

i run a home music studio,and windows background programs slow my system down so much its impossible sometimes to make any music,i know enough about pc's to have shut most of these background programs down but some you can not (yes i know macs do not)but i'm not a apple fanboy,anyway one of the main sound programmers for windows 10 was on sonicstate.com
and asking sound techies like me for their input ,when i put this problem forward and asked for a daw mode where these background programs cease for a while so user's of daw's on windows do not have this problem.the whole point he was there was to entice studio's to use windows more and what they could do to make it smoother
he sort of stated that this will not be a option,so apple mac can but windows will not .i am not kidding you my old pentium100 from years ago was able to have more tracks running with effects on cubase vst then i currently get on my new system running cubase 8 due to some of these background programs running at important moments and reporting back to microsoft.
so for this reason windows is finally going to be outed from my life,linux seems the way to go only i do not know how good if at all linux is for music recording for multipletracks has anyone experiance in using linux with a daw????????????

People will tell you Linux is easy but honestly to God it's not.

Microsoft keeps track of every search you punch into the start menu- it sends the data to them, directly, every time you use it. I've personally confirmed this.
Also,
Just for funzies
Would you say disliking this is ignorance, too?

If you want a PC that you have to tinker with all the time, changing settings, etc. get Linux.

And here we have another one! Are you paid by ms? of course you'll say no.
People!!!
It was reading garbage like the above that caused me to stay with windows for too long!
Linux Mint - Easier to use than windows! - No fiddling with settings! - Completely free! - No malware! - It just works!
Dont listen to people in this thread, just go download linux mint, burn it to a dvd and try it for yourself. You will discover why comments like the above have been holding you back for so long!
