OSNews "sat down" with Linspire CEO Michael Robertson for a Q&A about his company's efforts as the banner-carrier for Linux-on-the-desktop. We discussed the upcoming Linux Desktop Summit in San Diego and the perceptions and realities of the obstacles to widespread desktop Linux use. Linspire also extended a special offer to OSNews readers: a free download of Linspire and a 30 day CNR subscription, so put yourself in Granny's shoes (not literally, please) and give it a try.
Correction: The free offer expires on January 15.
Just to respond to Egons comments - I saw it as the other way around.
Im mainly a windows user who dabbles in Linux, and I saw it as Linux trying to be Windows badly, scratch the surface and your deep into Linux.
Like you however I have installed it. I was also not impressed.
Back to Mandrake I go.
