I bought a machine with Linspire preloaded on it today. Nice machien, and cheaper than I could build it. A bit short on RAM, and the CD is a reader only (no CD writer or DVD). But great value for the $299.
Reading through the manual that comes with it, I find no information as to how to use the preloaded software, but quite a bit of nformation relative to wiping it and installing various flabors of M$ OS'es.
Here's my concern. It appears that the promary intent of this is not to encourage the new users that might buy this amchine to learn to use Linux, but instead a way to sell them a machine W/O the M% tax, and encourage them to load a pirated copy of a M$ OS on it.
This really seems like a bad light to cast the Linux comunity in, IMHO.
What are otheres prespective on this?
I assume you have at least mailed Linspire about this. They at least deserve to know how their product is being misused. Regards,
David.
