I've been using Zorin for a year or two now and so far my experience with it has been nothing short of phenomenal. Windows has always been bogging my computer down and I was really pleased when I found out about Zorin. I wasn't a computer expert so when I tried out the other Linux "distros" (Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint etc.) I was completely lost. The interfaces of these other distros were a bit too unusual and I found it difficult to do anything with them since I was used to the Windows look. That's when Zorin kicks in! The Windows 7-esque look in Zorin was really easy to use, a lot more than the other distros. The free version has more software than even Mint! Their Look Changer app, which lets you choose between the Windows 7, XP and GNOME 2 user interfaces, was also something that really attracted me to Zorin as I was an XP user beforehand. Since I wanted to support their project, I bought their Ultimate version which also has the Windows 2000, Ubuntu Unity and Mac OS X looks. Their "Premium" versions are also very interesting since they include lots of other software that you don't get in the free version as well as tech support.
For Windows guys moving over to Linux (like I was), this has to be the top choice for this group of users.
