Linspire frees "Click 'N Run" software service
,----[ Quote ]
| In a surprise move, Linspire is now offering its CNR ("Click 'N Run")
| software service at no charge to its Linspire and Freespire Linux
| distribution customers. In addition, the company will soon be
| open-sourcing the CNR Client.
|
| CNR, previously a fee-based service offered at annual subscription rates
| of $20 for basic and $50 for premium ("Gold") access to new programs, had
| been the San Diego-based company main source of income.
|
| Now, however, according to CEO Kevin Carmony, Linspire is doing well
| enough from selling its higher-end products and services that it can
| afford to offer its basic CNR service free of charge. Thus, both Linspire
| and Freespire users can use the extremely easy software delivery and
| update program for free.
