Interestingly, the Lindows software was originally developed under contract by the Corel developers. The Corel developers became Xandros (another Linux distribution) and eventually won the non-payment lawsuit against Michael Robertson. Linspire (as it was then legally know as a result of a successful lawsuit by Microsoft) quickly went insolvent and was bought out by Xandros, who within a year stopped making payroll and the corporate principals slipped into the night.
As a Xandros employee I visited the Linspire office in San Diego, Ca;ifornia: it was a small industrial condo where the front half was an opulent personal office for Michael Robertson and the back half basically a closet where the other 4 to 6 employees worked.
