Looking for Linspiration
BusinessWeek's Tech Beat has an update on Michael Robertson and the company formerly known as Lindows. Robertson's Linspire, as it's now known, collected $20 million from Microsoft in the settlement of their long-running trademark dispute last year, and the San Diego company is still hoping to chip away at Microsoft's dominance of the desktop computer.
Writes BusinessWeek's Steve Hamm: "I don't hold out a lot of hope for Linspire becoming a force in the industry. After all, mighty players such as HP, Dell and IBM haven't been able to make much of Linux on the desktop. But Robertson is fighting a guerilla war against Microsoft with Microsoft's money, so you’ve got to like that."
