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.

I understand and agree with what you're saying. But, I was looking at it from more of a 'look-and-feel' perspective, rather than the technologies behind the GUI. The repetitive comments about how the Gnome (less so nowadays) and KDE Gui's are a direct ripoff of Windows is getting a bit old...
Anyway, on topic, I downloaded and tried Linspire 4.5 when OSNews ran an offer a while back. Not bad, but Suse is a bit more to my taste. I do, however, need a distro to push to friends who ask me about taking the Linux plunge for the first time. Looks like Linspire 5.0 might be worth considering for this purpose.
