Unfortunatelly the Operating system requires a empty partition to be installed in.None of my five is empty,so i just checked out the programm few days ago virtually without installation,what is possible straight from the disc.
It is indeed very easy to use.After the first hour of impressions i would compare it in terms of complexity with "WindowsXP home edition".It does all the things a normal user needs in a very easy reference package.
On the other hand i would say it isn't really comparable but for sure a adequate free alternative for the "normal" user.
Of course i did not check out all the possible downloads to improve the OS further.
The whole design is also very pleasant and i did straigt find,what i was looking for.
As far as i know the privious version was different and just as another prgramm installable in a normal folder,not as usual in a free partition.
This is not the case with this upgrade anymore.It needs to be installed as any other OS.
Some readers maybe don't know that the system runs faster and more trouble free,if the operating system is installed on a seperate partition with nothing else on it.This way while the reinstallation of a operating system,the partition gets formated and the OS straight afterwards on a clean and formated harddisk partiton installed.I made accidently only one little partition of 40 GB,where our XP is installed in.
The partition management of another 2TB i intend to add in the next six months and use as the "main HDD"-which also contains the different OS i intend to install then will look different.
So the coming 2TB gets divided this way:
5 X 40 GB for up to 5 different OS,which are seperately accessable when the user start or restart the computer.
The rest of this HDD will be probably left in once.
