Freespire On; Freespire Off
I've been waiting for months for the release of Freespire 2.0. Over the past two years I've downloaded and tried many distros but had been saving the "best for last." I'd heard so much about Freespire and Linspire; especially the new CNR program installer/remover. On my hard drive was a downloaded Freespire 1.0 ISO, but I just never burned the CD. Then it became a matter of version 2.0 coming really soon anyway, so I'd just wait for it.
I learned a lot when it finally came. With Freespire you get what you pay for. Freespire has a long way to go before being competitive with the really serious Linux distros. While Freespire may be the base and testing ground for its parent company, one would have to cautiously question some of the logic it uses for the attraction of potential clients.
Being a born idealist, I've learned when to put realism at the proper end of the cart.
