"Former Linspire CEO Kevin Carmony was pretty gung-ho about the company's upcoming release back in June. He said it would 'fill some key holes in our current offering'. Unfortunately Linspire 6, released last week, lacks the refinements you'd expect in a distro you pay USD 50 to download. It drops some key distinguishing features, and in return gains only some Microsoft technology as spelled out in the Microsoft patent covenants Linspire agreed to. This release seems to be about deferring to Microsoft."

>"Another dead distro. Time for Linspire, Micheal Robertson and the rest of the crew to just go away."
Why? They brought some people over from Windows, contributed money to a handful of OSS projects, and the people that didn't like the distro never had to use it.
