@Aravisian I assume you "liked" that bit of my post. 
Actually, I was just noting agreement about mentioning the Sound Card as another Achilles heel.

I am new to this forum so I don't know how to post, hence this query in a reply. Hope someone answers my "pre-sale" question.
I want to buy Zorin Ultimate but I want a version with Wine pre-installed. I also would like a list of tested compatible tible printer/scanners that work seamlessly with Zorin, so I can buy the inkjet printer and not waste my money on Amazon on a printer that does not work with Zorin linux specifically. Kindly advise please,so I can place my order with confidence. Y0ur distro looks amazing. ;-)Thanks.

All versions comes with "Software" with a button to install Wine. All you need to do is click on the button.
HP printers are very well supported in Linux.

thanks for your reply.When will zorin 16 be out of beta. I want a stable edition.
As far as your low "shareware" price for Ultimate, I suggest it be be changed to $99.00 for a lifetime license;- the same price as Windows 10 Home on Amazon, where you should also sell your distro on a USB pen drive with printer drivers and Wine preinstalled for DOS-hating Windows users making the switch. The existing "free" versions of Zorin can be offered using the "freemium" model for $39. In other words they will be "Home/Student" editions, while Ultimate will be the "Pro version (with extended support) for $99. thanks.
This is not how FOSS works.

@pjp5 Zorin have a package called "Windows App Support" which you should find listed in the Software centre. That includes Wine and Play-on-Linux to aid people to run Windows apps on ZorinOS.
Whilst that was written initially at time of Z15, I expect it is still valid for Z16.
