For crying out loud, a press release that reads "With the included office suite OpenOffice.org (www.linspire.com/openoffice)" or "The laptop's included Mozilla Internet suite (www.linspire.com/mozilla) " sounds like these bozos INVENTED the damned software. This is getting ridiculous. How much longer before they claim they ARE the only linux (oh, yes, that's right, they already have, with the "no choice in the Netherlands" nonsense last year.) Bring out the hook, pull these clowns offstage. |

Have you actually read the packaging for HP's, and e machines in stores? They sound exactly like that. Includes MSFT Windows and MSFT Office suite. Linspire, isn't targeting us techies they are playing to the normal everyday idiots, who can't do much more than insert CD and press play, and pressing play can sometimes be to much. Linspire is going for the crowd whose VCR's blink, and they aren't sure what the noise is about dvd's. Let them have their marketing fun, they know were the line is, and somebody will be watching them anyways. |
