what do you guys think of Lindows being forced to change their name?

Do you like the new name (LinSpire)?

I think the forced name change will hurt them.
Their original goal was to create a Linux OS that would run windows software.
That has all vanished in their latest release.

They are currently marketing to users that are tired of windows bugs, security holes and cost,
but don’t want to spend lots of time learning a new OS.
The icons are different but it has the look and feel windows.
The name Lindows fit that marketing plan perfectly.

No! I do not like the name Linspire

in my opinion they are now just another distribution of linux... same as Redhat, Gentoo, Mandrake, Knoppix, etc
