Freespire 1.0 review
,----[ Quote ]
| For years now I've thought that Linspire should be free to download,
| especially since users are practically forced to buy into the Click N
| Run service to get a reasonably complete desktop experience. I'm not a
| fan of hidden costs; as a software user, I want to know the total price
| upfront. Linspire makes an effort to hide the CNR dependency until
| after you've purchased and installed the operating system. Freespire,
| on the other hand, gives you a usable and mostly complete operatings
| ystem as-is, and allows you to buy into CNR if you want extra programs,o
| r use APT if you're willing to learn how to work with the command
| line interface.
|
| Speaking of CNR, it's greatly improved over the past two years, and
| is definitely the most easy-to-use software installation andm
| aintenance framework in the operating system world today, primarily
| because of its tight integration with the Freespire interface.
