@codemonkeymike @kbm0 @vwestlife Well, I was cautious.

My dad has come screaming to me "what is this crap, get it off my screen" because of an update notification. I see it when I happen to sit near him to help him though something. He just doesn't have the patience to even try to read what's on screen. He just scrolls to the bottom and then curses about not finding what he was looking for. It's there, he just scrolled right past because he didn't have the patience.

@vwestlife @codemonkeymike I have tried that for my dad. Win 7 install worked fine, true, but then using it didn't... at all. Couldn't even get it to connect to WiFi and he works remotely, so he needs that. Maybe someone who's a computer person could have done it, but I'm not one, my dad even less so and can't afford to pay for that. So then Zorin OS it was. Everything I couldn't get working on Win 7 worked right out of the box. My dad has a working computer instead of a dead one.
