‘Linspire 6: Two Steps Back’

October 17th, 2007 | Category: OS

“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 final 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. that release seems to be about deferring to Microsoft.”
