    I don't get it. What's the point?

    Why not just run Ubuntu?

    Transformation packs are crap...

    If you are willing to screw-up your machine and willing to waste another hour or so to fix it, then definitely give it a try. :rolleyes:

    Its just kind of skin!!

    You'll be running Windows with Ubuntu skin on it. :eek:
