It is also a RISK FREE trial.
The end user doesn't have to great lengths to figure out how
to install Linux on their system without disturbing their
windows installation and all of their windows files. They
don't have to worry about installing anything.
It's a very low effort way to determine just how much of
their current hardware is supported.
Linux may or may not be right for them. We fear nothing from a
user learning this for themselves. We aren't here to force anyone
into anything (unlike Microsoft Lemmings).
