Lindows Becomes Linspire







Lindows Becomes Linspire

Lindows Becomes Linspire 04/14/2004 11:51 AM

Following Microsoft's round-the-world attempts (and some success es) to ban the name Lindows - combined with the unsuccessful attempt at using the Lin---s< /a> name instead, it appears that Lindows has settl ed on Linspire as their new name. Of course, in the end, they'll probably privately thank Microsoft for giving them so much publicity to get their name out there. Yet another case where trying to shut something down probably gave it a lot more attention.

Linspire Looking for More Lawsuits


Linspire Looking for More Lawsuits 04/20/2004 10:11 AM

Linspire's lawyers (formerly Lindows) apparently need work after their losing battle with Microsoft. Now they're testing Apple's resolve by announcing LPhoto and LSongs . Two applications that bear more than a little resemblence to iPhoto and iTunes. Apple may be smaller than Microsoft, but it doesn't take too much research to find that they take their intellectual property very seriously. Unlike their last battle with Microsoft, I have a feeling they'll get to keep the names, but the apps will no doubt look vastly different by the time they are released.

My Workstation OS: Linspire 4.5


My Workstation OS: Linspire 4.5 03/14/2005 04:05 PM
Built on a Debian Linux core, Linspire is designed for simplicity of use, and it delivers this in spades. Linspire eliminates the need for me to be technically proficient in the nuances of Linux to successfully operate and enjoy the OS. This includes loading software, staying updated, and never seeing a command-line interface. It makes it very easy to just get on with what I have to do and not worry about the technicalities of using a Linux-based system.

Linspire (formerly known as LindowsOS) has consistently made an attractive, easy-to-install and easy-to-use GNU/Linux distribution. With the 2.6.10 Linux kernel and a recent build of X.org, Linspire has fixed some of the video driver problems I had with the 4.0 and 4.5 versions. As in previous releases, Linspire includes many proprietary add-ons "mainstream" desktop users enjoy, but in return it comes with proprietary strings attached.

The OS also ships with a web browser, e-mail and instant messaging clients, multimedia viewers, photo and music managers, calendaring tools and other applications.

Linspire CEO To Offer Music Service With
No DRM Restrictions
02/05/2005 10:16 PM

Former MP3.com chief and Linspire CEO Michael Robertson will reenter the music world next week with MP3tunes, a service that promises music without DRM restrictions.

The announcement will be made next week at the Linspire Desktop Summit, where a new VOIP company, SwitchVox, will also be launched. Robertson's other venture, SIPphone, will also introduce a $39 device designed to facilitate Internet calling.

Robertson said he's not worried about the record labels and their requirements for rights-management technology. At the time it was sold, Robertson said, MP3.com attracted top artists, like Maroon 5 and Linkin Park. "I think the labels are interested in one thing: selling," he said. "If you build the audience they will come."
