It is an operating system that is totally free, easy & quick to install and does not have to replace your current OS. I have been running it alongside my Windows Vista for a few weeks and have had no problems whatsoever.

PS :::: I was told about this by a friend who was having major problems with his computer and thought I would give it a try before posting the details here on FMF.

I woud be very interested to see what you think .
