Linspire Turns 5.0

Well it took three years and $20 million but Linspire, the Linux distro formerly called Lindows, is set to unveil version 5.0.
According to Linspire boss Michael Robertson, the newest version contains over 1,200 improvements over previous versions including a new graphical user interface (GUI), a quick 8 minute install wizard, hundreds of new built-in applications and the ability to install Linspire to your system's hard drive or run it "live" from your computer's CD drive.

Price points for Linspire seem to be set at $49.95 for a downloadable digital version and $89.95 for the CNR version. Also look for Linspire CD's to be available for shipping in the next two weeks. You can check out Linspire 5.0 here.
