Linspire founder Robertson seeks publicity from Tour de France winner
,----[ Quote ]
| The founder of MP3.com (arguably Robertson's most successful project,
| now owned by CNET) is well-known for his bold PR style, including an
| open letter to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer (do you think he read it?)
| in which Robertson extolled the benefits of per-user licensing versus
| Microsoft's per-machine scheme, as well as the infamous self-graded
| Lindows report card, which proclaimed that only 80% of "insiders" who
| paid $99 for the privilege of installing a beta version of Lindows could
| get it to work.
