●● Xandros Thinks Linspire Customers Use Microsoft Windows

Summary: Linspire customers are sent adverts for software that requires Windows

XANDROS is one of the few Linux vendors which signed a patent deal with Microsoft. Right not it is focused on selling software that requires Windows, demonstrating that it has gone the same way as Corel after it signed an agreement with Microsoft.

One of our readers, The Mad Hatter, has sent us an E-mail that Xandros dumped on former customers of Linspire (Xandros bought this company [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]). He explains: “Got this – I was signed up on the Linspire mailing list, and they sent me this. Which of course is no use to me, since I don’t run Windows.”
