Tried it, v3.8.1, and it fails in about 5 seconds normally, and about 7
seconds with a failsafe boot that turnoff almost all hardware detection.
It is not a bad CD as it does work in another computer.

Now add that many average would have a hard time setting up and using
Linux on all the varying hardware, and add to that that every major
distro variation has different command line commands for things getting
updates, and the average user doesn't even know how to use the command
line in Windows, Linux is not ready for my mom, my personal messure of
the average computer user.
