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.

Mmmm Linspire... I used to kind of like them when they first showed up, but that enthousiasm got tempered as soon as I saw the setbacks of KDE (before I start a flamewar: my personal setbacks). Years ago, I had the time to dive into the plethora of options KDE presents you with; these days I just want a DE that works out-of-the-box without tweaking; that's why I prefer Gnome these days.
I don't agree with the people saying that Linspire should switch to Gnome, but I do understand them. For computer-illeterates, Linspire's market after all, Gnome is better suited. However, Linspire is a KDE-centric distro and it should stay that way. They'd have to redo their entire distro if they switch to Gnome.

Then again, who am I?
