@Nito1234
it's based on ubuntu, ubuntu is based on debian, debian is for most people linux, vmware supports linux, why wouldn't it work?

It will surely work. Just choose the operating system as Ubuntu when creating the Virtual Machine :D

@odio
Linux always looks ugly to simple minded people like you.This is as easy as a linux distro can get.
First give it a full test run and then comment on the looks, haven't you heard of the expression "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

There are people who love their linux looks like Windows, but I think most of Linux could masked into Windows-like desktop especially for KDE and GNOME.
Zorin is nice, but its bleeding edge products isn't free at all, I don't know, whether Zorin Free can be upgrade into the premium version, but then again, I don't think the premium version is expensive.

If you want a Linux that looks like windows with aero support and many other features take a look at this one:

It is a Brazilian project named BRLix (formely Famelix)
"BRLix GNU/Linux (formerly Famelix GNU/Linux) is a distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux. Its peculiarity lies in the adaptation of the user interface so that it resembles Windows Vista (or optionally Windows XP) as much as possible." The 1.1 version is multiligual (de, en, es, it, pt).
