I use it to repair Windoze Pc's 

it runs in memory from the cd or usb
It finds most hardware, 
It has tools for Harddisks, networking, etc,
I don't use it as a day to day OS but it could be installed 
 I think it's just the Biz when you want to just run a PC and check out
CPU memory Hardware Network or remove files protected by the broken OS.
