I used to use ZorinOS on my laptop.
I have had it after it ruined my setup after a new update for the nth time so I switched to Mint.
Perhaps things have changed since then but for me Zorin is certainly not up on par with Mint.
I agree in the past Zorin caused me a lot of problems with updates. Lately though that has not been the case. I run Zorin 6 on a tower and the updates have been good this year (2014). Before that I had a lot of problems with updates. Even though targeted towards new users I would not have recommended it a year ago, now I would/
I also run Point Linux on my laptop. It is the quietest forum I have ever seen. No one seems to have problems.
Ahh, Compiz. I played with that in Ubuntu 9. It’s a neat toy, but I found it bulky and unnecessary, IMO.
I always preferred a minimalist desktop and devote the majority of my system resources to the application at hand. Now-a-days I prefer Mint LXDE when I’m not in a CLI.

To me self promotion by sticking your name on a product is tacky, imagine if Windows would have been called “GatesOS”
You mean something calling you Linus and your product Linux 😀 ?
Why wasn’t Ubuntu with Unity include in these tests?
