One of these things is not like the others.

i would say that linux mint cinnamon is probably very user friendly and is base on ubuntu too and for me cinnamon look way better than this xfce.

yup! that's why I wrote explicitly about the screenshot Michael posted and not about their actual theme
on the other side, their website is actually really really old-fashioned and they need to fix it, IMHO.

"Along with updated branding and design we have made significant advancements that once again proves - if there was ever any doubt - Linspire is the number one Linux distribution for new, intermediate and power users."

Nope, there was never any doubt at all.

This really looks like one guy's pet project, from what I see on that site.

Yup, every expense spared too by hosting the site on Blogger while expecting you to cough up cash.
