The developers are making great strides with the distro

Q4OS is a Linux distribution based on Debian that uses a desktop environment called Trinity DE, which was forked a while ago from KDE. The end result is an operating system that looks and feels like an older Windows version.

Q4OS has been making its name as a Windows lookalike for some time now, and the developers have just recently decided to move their distro into stable territory. They have made a lot of changes and improvements in the past few months, and it looks like they are really dedicated to this project. It might feel weird at first to use this Linux distribution, especially if you're not a Windows fan, but it does have some perks.

Some of the potential users have complained that there is no Live version of the distro, which was correct. In order to test the distribution, you had to install it, and that usually takes time and lot of space. Now, a Live CD has been made available, so testing Q4OS is now much simpler.

As usual, you can download Q4OS from Softpedia and give it a spin. Please keep in mind that there are separate ISOs for installation and Live media, but that should not be a problem.
