This is a utilities program that promotes an operating system that is easy to sue by all members.

While this isn't one of the largest operating systems that are available, it is gaining in popularity with those who use the program. It's easy to use and has a simple design. You can change the background of the program to any color that you like, moving the icons on the screen so that they are easy to view and organize based on the categories and files that you need.

There is full support for the program for those who have questions. One of the benefits of the program is that it's driven by the community that it's made of, allowing you to talk to others who are using the program to get input as to the services that are offered. Feedback is encouraged so that the system can be improved. Several ideas have been used by members to enhance the overall use.

You'll find about 30,000 different packages available with the system. It is based on a few other programs that are on the market, taking the best information from both of them to combine together into one large system. It's a safe and reliable program that offers no regressions and no anti-spyware. Most of the hardware of the system works out of the box. Many of the features with the program are borrowed from the traditional desktop. However, the features are sorted in a way that is much easier to manage and view instead of everything being in rows where they seem jumbled together. The Sound Applet has been added to display track information along with media controls of the art display of the artist or album.
