REASONS TO BUY +Free he or they forget to add.
Nothing to buy here!
Ah some work for our “Marketing Team”

Good to see that there is no more:

  • -Poor hardware support
  • -For older PCs
  • -Sparse apps

Well, at least the only disadvantage is our “slow release schedule”. Although the developers are working very hard to have yearly releases, and there are proposals to have a faster release schedule.
