I think he said more than enough on the day he made his melodramatic
exit from Fedora, then blogged about it all over the Interweb.
And the reasons?
1. Fedora wasn't "proprietary" enough for him, apparently. He seems to
think that encumbered and proprietary software is wonderful, and he
can't live without it.
2. He deliberately deleted an essential component of RPM, then wondered
why it wouldn't work, then tried and failed to fix it (shocking for a
man of his supposed experience). Hint - he could've just downloaded
the RPM package then used "rpm2cpio RPM_file | cpio -idv", but
apparently that was too difficult for him, so he gave up and stormed
out.
3. Linspire had recently moved to using the Ubuntu tree, and he thinks
the best way to support his new-found friends is to chastise,
denigrate and humiliate his old ones. Such is the workings of a mind
fixated on the reprehensible methods used in the business world.

They've probably pissed it all away on Vista licenses for the office,
assuming $20 million is enough to cover it.
