>Robolinux
One of the project's more interesting features is the availability of a pre-configured virtual machine support pack with Windows XP or Windows 7 - a VirtualBox setup which allows the user to install and run the Windows operating system seamlessly alongside Robolinux. This is an optional add-on that must be purchased from the project's online store.
Really ? Like...really ?

Just made me realize how many fucking useless distros are out there, all of them with the goal to create an "intuitive, easy to use linux experience for everyone =)". I mean, I totally get the more specialized distros, but I could just shoot the developers of every fucking ubuntu fork that uses the "beginner friendly KDE" but chose to create a new package manager or shit like that in their useless heads.

That's not bonus points, that's the minimum requirement... I mean, otherwise I can just click the random button myself
Installing it on bare metal is definitely bonus points, though. Raise the game.
