Personally, I think a live CD is a horrible introduction to a system.  How
is a regular user to know it's slow because it's running off the CD, not
because it's that "silly Linux thing?"

However, I guess that they work as a concept, as people are using them, and
changing.

Why is the mission to change Windows users?
