      Good point. Remember folks this is ESRs distro and Freespire/Linspire are in bed with Microsoft as much as Novell are:

      Novell was the first to acknowledge that Microsoft FUD tactics had substance. Novell then used anti-Linux FUD to market itself.

      Xandros founderHighlight: Xandros let Microsoft make patent claims and brag about (paid-for) OOXML support

      Linspire CEO Kevin CarmonyHighlight: Linspire's CEO not only fell into Microsoft arms, but he also assisted the company's attack on GNU/Linux.
