Freespire aspires, but fails to inspire

| I personally liked Freespire, but it may not be the best choice for a person 
| coming straight from Windows, as I found some previous Linux experience 
| necessary in order to fully enjoy it. For those users, I recommend giving 
| SimplyMEPIS, PCLinuxOS, or Stux Linux a look. I can run any of these without 
| ever opening a terminal thanks to their graphical configurations and package 
| management systems.

| I've been waiting for months for the release of Freespire 2.0. Over the past 
| two years I've downloaded and tried many distros but had been saving 
| the "best for last."

Linspire CEO Kevin Carmony resigns

,----[ Quote ]
| Carmony also said his resignation, contrary to some rumors, had nothing to do 
| with any disagreement with Linspire's primary owner Michael Robertson, or 
| with fallout from either of Linspire's recent deals with Microsoft, which 
| covered technology licensing and patent indemnification.   
| 
| Carmony joined Linspire, then known as "Lindows," in June of 2001 to become 
| its president. Later, he became the company's CEO.

Freespire, Linspire, and Microsoft patents

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft denies that this is the case, and argues that, in particular, the 
| GPLv3 has nothing to do with it. However, with its July 5 Covenant to 
| Customers concerning its Linspire deal, Microsoft is trying to put even more 
| distance between any potential patent claims and the GPLv3.
