That's the big question for Linspire; they're not really all that
popular to begin with (even if you lump their market share with
Freespire's) and angering the community with MS patent deals isn't
going to help.  I was actually interested in seeing what their
cross-distro CNR system was going to be like, but in the wake of this,
I think I'll skip it.

Ah well...  M$ is making choosing a distro soooo easy these days ;)
