I always knew Linspire sucked:

I especially like how they portray their surrender as "providing
choice to the user". And get a load of this nonsense:

"Monopolies are certainly bad for choice, but so too is open source
demagoguery which forces one's viewpoint upon others by limiting
their choices."

Good lord, why are these clowns even in the Linux business??

I wonder how this will affect Ubuntu, which entered into some
agreements with Linspire recently.
