Linspire 4.5 free download

Want my CC, geezzzz what a crock. Sorry, if it seems pived, but I am. Uhm, exactly what was so hard about downloading the free version? Linspire is built around the CNR service. They just trick you into thinking that getting a free copy is a big deal. But like I pointed out once you stop paying say bye bye to your apps. They came from nowhere ie ZERO linux presence to having huge exposure in no time flat. I once got a peak at their marketing docs somewhere on one of their webservers and man are they organized.

Nicely flashy graphics and Very professoinal looking. I could only imagine what would happen if you fired the entire Mandrake crew and put these people in their place. The company is run by greed. They say their target audience is Windows users, so to get them to move, they set up the system to be as easy to use as they could.

Fair enough, but CNR is everywhere, and it will hose the machine if not removed properly etc etc. I am writing this from the new version of Linspire that I got yesterday.

I have been using Lindows since Febuary, on and off, and I have mixed feelings on it, if I gave it to a newbie, they would have enough stuff to keep them using the pc for almost all the things they do in Windows. However, CNR is plastered all over the place, almost begging for the users credit card details on ever click.

This is just plain not nice. So like I said, mixed feelings, a good little slow perhaps version of linux for beginners, not much to offer o those people who had enjoyed the freedom of other versions of linux.

Just to understand, no apparent link was provided to goto any such service. It maybe no brainer for some people but if the a beginner or new user is to get a feel for this stuff, it at least should easy as pie to get it.

I like the premise of Linspire but gee whiz, they want to keep the ball all the time. Thanks for the info. I for one would never have gotten to actually download it without the help here. It only kept asking my credit card number… talk about user hostile! The problem is you can only download it using BitTorrent. Download speed absolutely sucks. So far its been downloading for 30hrs and is only halfway done. Not impressed with BitTorrent or Linspire over this experience.
