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.

For the gazillionth time:
Windows does not include DVD playback either.
Some IP consortium wants big bucks for DVD decoding.
With Linspire, that's $4,95. Sounds like a bargain (ever tried to buy PowerDVD?)
Frankly it smells that DVD hardware always comes with Windows-only DVD playing software.
Not including DVD software in a distribution is inevitable for any Linux distribution that wants to remain close to its open roots. The ease with which Linspire makes DVD playback accessible, should be complimented, not complained about. The only easier option may be Apple's OS X.
