Read full review	I was able to witness first hand how Linspire allowed technically challenged PC users to actually become functional... and happy with their new purchase. Linspire has created a product that is so simple to use that even someone who has never used a computer before is able to sit down and learn it with ease. All the while they have no problems with spyware, popups, etc. that are common in legacy operating systems. I was blown away.

Read full review	I was very impressed already with Linspire 4.5, but 5.0 is a huge improvement in usability, features, speed and productivity over 4.5. If Linspire can improve on this with their next version, all I can say is watch out Longhorn. Is Linspire on par with Windows XP, I would say yes to this and better, it’s more fun (Linux), cheaper ($50 a year for everything, including upgrades), secure (firewall, optional Antivirus, optional SurfSafe) and stable.
Read full review	I was dragged against my will into evaluating several supposedly Windows user-friendly Linux distros. I tried Xandros, Mandrake, Knoppix, Linspire, and Debian.... In the end, Linspire emerged as my favorite distro because of its Click-N-Run (CNR) software platform.  Aside from CNR being easy enough for even a three-year-old to master, the hands-off maintenance aspect makes CNR a sysadmin’s dream. Linspire may market to consumers, but it’s a terrific TCO prospect for any business productivity system.

With all the improvements Linspire has made to Linux I do not see myself ever going back to Windows. Linspire has everything you need and more in one solid, easy-to-use system. Thank you Linspire for giving me a choice and delivering a truly outstanding product.

Read full review	Because of its consumer orientation, Linspire has been able to ink deals with Wal-Mart, Best Buy, CompUSA and others to have its Linspire operating system pre-installed on PCs and laptops that these organizations sell to consumers.
Inspire Programming Read full review	I'm very pleased with how this new version has turned out. I understand that every new version will have its growing pains, I’m more than willing to wait these pains out to see what the future will bring. I seriously believe that Linspire is the closest Linux OS to compete against Windows. The other linux OS’s are just not up to par, in my opinion (for what it’s worth!!!). I believe that anybody who is looking to get away from Microsoft will be happy with Linspire.
