I signed up to become a Lindows Insider (now
Linspire) back in February 2004, after giving Lindows 4.5 Developer Edition a try and walking away very impressed about how far Lindows had come. I was very hesitant plugging down $99.00 for something you could do free with most other Distros which I thought was beta testing and voicing your opinion, but figured I had nothing to lose since they offered a 100% Money Back Guarantee on the program.

I thought the article was very well written and fair to boot. It's nice to get an idea of what the Insiders Program has to offer, both good and bad. I get the idea that Insiders are people who believe in Linspire and believe in Linux so that's why they spend $99 to be part of this program. The Insiders don't mind spending their time working on beta software and testing the OS if it means they can make a difference. I can understand how this program can APPEAR to be a little shifty but I don't think it is. I love Linspire 5 and it's my OS of choice (has been since early 4.5). I've used Fedora, Mandrake, Lycoris, Xandros, Ubuntu, Knoppix, as well as many others but Linspire is the distro I kept coming back to. It just works for me.
Thanks for the info on the Insiders Program and thanks to Linspire for putting out a great product.
