I find Zorin 6 Ultimate better than W7 in most ways..............

Your thoughts?

Thanks.

I think it is a half dozen of one and six of the other really, W7 has certain aspects about it that Zorin lacks and vice versa, gaming has always been a problem with Linux in general but the gaming firms have woken up slightly on that point!!.

The virus issue is the thorn in MS'es side as Linux doesn't suffer like MS or Apple on that front!!. (You must still be wary of malware even under Linux though!)

Sorry to reopen an old thread, but in W7 I have a lot of programs that I use for school such as Cisco Packet Tracer, Python 3.2.3, and a couple others. Is it possible to get Cisco PT to Zorin OS using Wine? I've yet to figure out how Wine works. As far as Python goes, I believe I already have it because I remember seeing and downloading it from the software manager. Thanks
