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 think your time would be better spent analyzing the failure of your sales teams and of your products sales.
Most companies are setup with the knowledge that it will take 5 to 10 years to break even.
In addition, keep in mind that Linspire received about 20 million dollars as settlement with Microsoft to change their name from Lindows to Linspire. This is more money than they have spent upto now. This means that they 'are' profitable.
> I also like to point out that your showing your incompetence by saying things like : "(we have around 15,000 Insiders)" , I find it really strange that a President of any company dont know the exact number of suscriber at a given date of any of there program.
He is giving an approximate number, since there is no need for an exact number. Would you prefer 15, 345? Anyway it's not necessary.
> Of course your not going to get everyone with a price entry worldwide of 99$ USD , 99$ USD might seem cheap for you but in some country its 1/2 there yearly salary.
Linspire's comes installed on many low-cost systems. This systems are generally 50 to 100 dollars cheaper than equivalent systems that come with Windows.
> Linspire would not exist if it where not for GNU/Linux and the free developpers , your insiders have little to do with most of your products , yes some are among the brightest I have seen, but they cant compensate for people like you who dont do there jobs and who employ proven loosing strategy for GNU/Linux.
Linspire is one of the largest contributors to opensource.

You are just a troll. You write a lot without having any knowledge about the company or what it does.
You don't like them, don't use Linspire, it's that simple.
