Another M$-Linux Deal

This time it's Linspire turn... it's starting to look like a trend!

Got to love the title: Microsoft and Linspire Collaboration Promotes Interoperability and Customer Choice

You bet.

Didn't MS sue Linspire (Lindows) for name infringement?

[Sorensei]

Yep! That's why they changed their name.

But love conquers all, or so it seems...

And here's Groklaws take on it:

The most entertaining part is how shocked people are that it happened...again.

Linspire and Xandros are almost irrelevant in corporate environments. The Novell deal was a real shocker, yes. But Xandros? Linspire? "Xandros who? Linspire what?" ... I think they just accelerated the rate by which they will soon be completely forgotten.

I think they just accelerated the rate by which they will soon be completely forgotten.

Have to agree with you on this one...
