Canonical Ltd., the sponsor of Ubuntu, and Linspire Inc. the developer of Linspire and Freespire, on February 8 announced a technology partnership to integrate with each other's Linux distributions. Linspire/Freespire will be based on Ubuntu, rather than Debian, and Ubuntu will integrate with Linspire's CNR package installer/updater.

Yes the deal will give Ubuntu access to CNR, which will allow Ubuntu users to buy legal codecs, which I believe does offer legal DVD playback.
For the Most part Linspire(and more Freespire) has been well done, so I expect the next version to be good too, thought there is less polishing to do when basing of Ubuntu rather than vanilla Debian.
