"Actually, it is very easy to upgrade. CNR will let you grab and re-install the apps in your new Linspire version with one-click."
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. What I meant is that it is difficult for Linspire to upgrade the OS, because everything must be in sync with CNR.

1) Linspire 5.0 badly needs updating. The sound issue is well known, there are other bugs, a new kernel would be a good idea...
2)Their business model: CNR is more of an handicap than anything else, IMO, because:
A)It makes the main OS very difficult to upgrade
B)People on dialup are left out...
The Xandros model makes more sense to me: (almost) everything you need in the CDs. Actually they could merge with Xandros (or buy it)
