Try out Lycoris Desktop/LX 1.4. They just yesterday released 1.4, and it's got something new from Bitstream called btX2 that makes all fonts render better, even better than Windows.
I updated my system yesterday and the fonts are so crisp it's not even funny. Most distros use freetype, and a couple of them turn on the hinting illegally, but Desktop/LX apparently has licensed font hinting and antialiasing that even surpasses Windows and Mac.
This goes to show that Linspire/Lindows was just not a good idea. Since they couldn't even raise $5 a share (down from their initial $11), they will never go IPO and leave the Linux scene.
Quality companies like Google will in fact raise the necessary capital, because they have something to offer to investors, unlike Linspire. It's great to see REAL Linux make headway in the market.
You are totally correct. This is FAR WORSE than anything going on in Linux today. It's absolutely EVIL and needs to be stopped. Bruce Perens wrote an open letter to Michael Robertson last time he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. There is more of this going on. Lindows subverts the GPL with CNR. Look into it. You lose the ability to use the programs if you don't pay for the "free" trial or you unsubscribe from CNR. Theft. Breaking the GPL. WRONG.
I am sure that Linspire has a strong desire to correctly protect IP laws. And while I know I would be upset if someone misused my work, it was just a flash intro on the website. Honestly, it could have been much worse.
That's bullshit. HOW do you know that Linspire has a desire to protect IP laws? You don't. You want to believe that. You're an ostrich. Check out the link in my sig. Lindows is just as evil than Microsoft. They blatantly steal from the Open Source community. They tell half-truths or lies if they can get away with it. Remember "the first AOL PC?" An absolute LIE.
Check out the article in my sig. I've joined the Open Source Revolution! Information is the weapon we can crush evil corporations like Lindows, inc. and Microsoft with.

Just one screenshot here.

STOP THE LINDOWS IPO.

$20 an hour is what I've seen. It's enough to live on and actually support a family.
