Even if Linspire tried it (and maybe failed), it still good to see people being proactive in developing it as a viable system. Gotta start somewhere... It would be good to see three alternative OS's to choose from - Windows, Mac, Linux. I haven’t tried Ubuntu yet nor tried installing Linux on a desktop.

It would be good to see three alternative OS’s to choose from – Windows, Mac, Linux.

Waste of space really... Linux's strengths aren't really exploitable in these watered down versions. However, stuff like Ubuntu may be better (I haven't tried it). Installing and configuring Linux isn't actually all that hard: it's just time-consuming, and the learning curve is very steep (not that I'm anywhere near an expert). If there were usable GUIs for most Linux apps, the average Windows user wouldn't find it much more difficult to use. Well it’s kinda already been tried with Linspire. Waste of space really…
