CA>"Lindows", as it was originally named, advertised that it's
CA>Windows emulator was better than 'wine' the more common Windows
CA>emulator for Linux. It was _supposed_ to be a selling point at
CA>one time that Linspire could execute some Windows software.

 I haven't seen any mention of that in a long time. They are pushing
 their Subscription service heavely. Adn I KNOW they are NOT providing
 any Windows programs under that.
Adn before you get excited about Selling "FREE" programs it is a service
charge for the "convience". It is my understanding that each program
installs diectly off the internet. Very minimual operator interaction.
IE, Linux dummies.  :-)  :-)
I should jump on the bandwagon. I see where my local Frys has the
Linspire special for $179 this week.

Some of the names jumping on the Linspire bandwagon are;
Wal-Mart, Fry's, Amazon.com, MicroCenter Online, CompUSA, PC Club, New
Egg, Best Buy, PC Mall, J & R Com, and Tiger Direct.
Most are internet only sales though.
Someone else other then me must think it has soemthing going for it.
