DesktopLinux.com reviews the Freespire release candidate, and concludes: "In short, I found it to be a fine Windows replacement desktop for home users. Without better network support, however, I still must recommend Xandros for business users who want a Windows-like experience, and SLED 10 for Linux friendly or heavy-duty office users."

If you actually believe that "Linspire's core vision of becoming the Linux platform of choice for proprietary software vendors is one that has obvious merit. They have a willing and waiting market of perhaps millions of PC users who want hassle-free Linux.", then you could also believe that code isn't the only thing a distro can contribute.
Maybe some developers want to contribute to such an obviously meritorious endeavor. Maybe the only thing Linspire needs to "give back" is a visible route to that hassle-free Linux that perhaps millions of people want. Maybe Linspire will make certain people realize the options and possibilities that Linux(distros) make possible. If so, maybe they have given something you can't code: publicity.
