Linspire and Ubuntu team up agains MS
This partnership will see Linspire base Linspire/Freespire on Ubuntu, while Canonical will in turn use Linspire's CNR commercial software e-commerce technology. Both companies believe that they will benefit in this partnership by promoting the adoption of Linux in the Microsoft dominated desktop market.
"This technology partnership goes a long way in advancing and unifying the Linux desktop," said Kevin Carmony, CEO of Linspire. "Linux faces many challenges as it competes in a world historically dominated by Microsoft Windows, so there is plenty of work to go around and we're pleased to be able to offer differentiation and choice, while reducing fragmentation."
Linspire will move from Debian to Ubuntu as the base for its desktop operating system. Early releases of Freespire 2.0 based on Ubuntu are expected soon, with the final release expected to follow the official release of Ubuntu 7.04 in April.
