Star Surprise Desktop Linux Move: Xandros Buys Linspire

Xandros In what seems like a battle of ants in a case full of lions, Practical Technology has learned that Xandros has bought Linspire. "In an announcement that was sent out today, June 30, to Linspire stockholders, CEO Larry Kettler wrote that the stockholders had decided to sell all of Linspire's assets. This deal specifically includes Linspire, Freespire, and the company's distribution agnostic CNR (Click 'N Run) desktop installation platform." Not everyone is very happy with this one, though.

One Microsoft-lackie purchases another Microsoft-lackie. However can I contain my enthusiasm?

I remember Xandros used to be looked upon fondly around here, but I guess Ubuntu has been kicking its ass. How the mighty have fallen ;)
