I agree,I have used Linspire 4.5 on one of my systems and its a very nice O/S.I installed it in my athlon XP1800+ system and everything just worked.I was quite amazed.

Installation was easy,all hardware including my home network was detected with no configuration needed.It took a little getting used to but it was very much like windows O/S with the exception its significantly faster.I guess it takes up less system resources compareed to windows.

If it wasnt for the lack of support as far as programs i use and games i would stick with it.Until those days i still prefer XP over Linspire.
