It's an eval version - I have issues with nagware but I decided to give
it a shot. It runs around 5 services all the time and crashes frequently
- even more than Windows alone. I can see where it would be useful, but
my rig just isn't suited to it - a little too slow I feel.

Good luck running any games on it - I think the video card is a virtual,
unaccelerated S3.
