i think that most of the comments over on the linspire forum are pretty bias when it comes to microsoft, i was lucky enough to get a free copy of linspire when they had that promotion a while back, i was not impressed with it one bit, i would much rather just use a copy of debian or gentoo. I personally think MS have been very clever with what they are doing with Vista, by offering all those different versions at different price ranges it is only going to persuade more ppl to purchase the windows based OS instead of trying to find a free linux alternative which proove to be far more complicated to the average user.
