Linspire seems to be a reasonable desktop for workstations, but I really doubt that companies will put much faith in it. Red Hat has been part of the Linux enterprise for God knows how long and Novell had serious stake in enterprise solutions before they acquired Suse and Ximian. This reliability is what is important for the enterprise. Who knows where Linspire will be even 3 years from now? Red Hat will still be around, even if it has a smaller market share and Suse will certainly be around.
IBM is backing both Red Hat and Novell; I really doubt that they'll be in the mood for helping a promising, albeit two-bit company.

This fits perfectly into the total enterprise solution, Novell & redHat on the serverside and Linspire on the desktop. Linspire has done a great job getting much of the nonsense out of the base distributions and even-out the holes in the range of available applications by funding & and sponsor projects mainly for the home user.
Hopefully we'll see the same approach for the enterprise

Now if they could only figure out how *not* to do everything using the root user .... yes despite all counter-claims, I recently read an interview with their CEO and he had one question to ask: Is a computer without root any more secure than one logged in as root?
If they succeed, this would make Windows the most secure OS ever!
