First of all I am thanking all the Zorin OS team for their dedication, vision and hard work in developing Zorin OS.We have been using Zorin OS since version 3.0 in our business and on our personal computers. I purchased several copies of Ultimate to support Zorin and because of the value added software on the Ultimate DVD. The look changer and splash screen themer are what I call value added. Also, the fact that we can configure our wireless without a wired connection has changed the way we use Linux.
If the Zorin Team can think of "value added" programs to add to the Zorin DVD, I am convinced they will sell more DVD's and that would help fund Zorin OS.
It was obvious from the first time I booted Zorin that this distro was putting back what the Ubuntu developers had been taking away over the other releases. The "look changer", the GRUB theme engine, DVD codecs and on and on. All these and more are restoring Ubuntu to what it once was.
I installed Zorin on my personal work computer and then installed Virtualbox on the computer and then my personal copy of Windows XP and then all my windows business software that I use. After using that configuration for about 30 days I found that I was more productive, did not have to purchase any more software for use on Windows 7, had no more viruses and had 3d graphics to boot!
Did Zorin OS save me money? You bet it did. Not only that but I can backup my Windows Virtualbox partition in about thirty seconds. And I can restore it in about one minute!!
My oldest daughter needed to use a computer when at my home because hers was not working for some reason, and so I let her use my laptop to check her email and do some banking. After about five minutes of using the computer she said "Dad, what kind of computer is this?"
I told her what it was and showed her the Virtualbox thing.
Needless to say she was blown away by the whole "two operating system" thing and wanted to know all about it. To make a long story short, her computer was not working because of a virus and trojan which had taken over her computer.
Zorin to the rescue!! We nuked it and installed Zorin OS and then virtualbox and Windows XP and the rest is as they say, history!! She is now one of the biggest Zorin OS advocates in our area.
All I can say is Thank You Zorin. Thank you for your efforts, thank you for Zorin, which is restoring all the best things back to Ubuntu, thank you for saving me money, thank you for the value added parts of Zorin OS. I am looking forward to Zorin OS 6.0 and based on the past versions of Zorin and the forward thinking of your development team it should be just as promising as the rest of the Zorin releases.
