Neu bei der OpenSource CD ist die Bewertungsskala mit der es einem unerfahrenen Benutzer sehr leicht gemacht wird gute von weniger guten Programmen zu unterscheiden. Diese neuartige Skala soll den Herausgebern auch dabei helfen, zu bestimmen ob die Programme ihren Platz behalten dürfen oder nicht.

Die OpenSource-CD kann entweder kostenlos als ca. 650MB großes ISO-Image heruntergeladen, oder als gepresste CD gekauft werden. Hierbei liegt der Preis für die OpenSource-CD bei 5,90 Euro.

Erstmalig ist die OpenSource-CD auch in einer 2 DVD Version erhältlich. Neben den typischen OpenSource-CD Programmen befinden sich auf der DVD noch weitere freie Tools. Die erste DVD enthält unter anderem die PrOOo-Box, den WorldWind-Client der NASA und eine gelungene Alternative zum bekannten Google-Earth. Auf der zweiten CD findet man jede Menge Unternehmens-Software.
