If you want Gnome, why don't you use Ubuntu?

I see posts such as yours all the time and frankly they add very little. Why? Because you fail to see that most distributors have made a choice about which desktop they are using and they have done so because they believe that desktop is better suited to their development model, brand identity and long-term goals.

When someone makes a remark such as yours, it comes off as little else than a shallow attempt to propagandize your desktop of choice at the expense of a coherent argument about what this article is actually about, which is the release of a new version of Freespire.
