Linspire This past week, Linspire showed the first public demo of Linspire Five-0. I was lucky enough to play with it for the last week, and within, you'll find a detailed walkthrough of what's new with Linspire.

DVD Playing II
by Paul D on Mon 14th Feb 2005 08:41 UTC

"It's really not that big of a deal to spend $5 bucks on a DVD player is it?!"

It's an extra, needless step that costs time and money when there are already free, reverse-engineered Linux DVD players available. You may not mind paying $5, but it's still a valid complaint for many people.

"If it is --then you can kiss goodbye all hope that a company like Adobe is going to come along and make a Linux version of Photoshop."

Playing a DVD is trivial. Doing complicated design work is not trivial, and professionals will always pay for the tools they need. The comparison between the two is moot.
