Windows 10 security - Windows 10 has a lot of gaping holes in it. New vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited on the same day. When this happens you run the risk of system instability, data loss, exposure of customer or personal data and you open yourself up to any exposed data being broadcast over the internet which can also be embarrassing to you if its your own personal system or to your company.
Linspire security - Linspire is designed to be secure from start to finish. Being based on Linux its inherently secure. With an easy to administer Firewall to the option to encrypt your home directory from the installation. We also include a anti-virus solution so Linspire is a good neighbor for any Windows clients it comes in contact with. There are far less viruses and malware on Linspire than on Windows 10.
Windows 10 data collection - Windows 10 uses a mechanism called telemetry to collect data from your machine and it starts with Activation and ends with your computing habits. When you activate your machine Windows 10 sends information back to Microsoft that includes the serial number of your system, what kind of system it is, and hardware specifications. Windows 10 also records and transmits application usage and web browsing habits.
Linspire data collection - Linspire contains no data transmission mechanisms. No user data is transmitted back to us and no system info is transmitted back to us. The only data that is transmitted is the key for our commercial repository and that just informs us that your copy of Linspire is able to access that repository. There is also no genuine advantage or activation with Linspire. We operate on a "on your honor" system. Which means we trust you to take out as many licenses that are necessary and that you will only install one copy per system.
Windows 10 and the BSA | The Software Alliance - Microsoft and other companies use this agency to "enforce" compliance. If they get a "tip" on possible license infringements they will raid you and make you pay huge fines. There have been tales of raids where perfectly legal machines are marked as illegitimate and that leaves users having to go to court and defend themselves and for business users you have the expense of downtime while they conduct their audits.
Linspire and the BSA | The Software Alliance - We do not contract with any company to enforce compliance. As stated we operate on an "on your honor" model. Now if we have too many service tickets for a customer and it appears to operate on multiple systems we will encourage you to bring your license package up to date. There are no fines or fee's from us and no raids or someone wanting to audit your business records. Most of the software in Linspire is free-as-in-beer and open source software. The proprietary software that is included in the system is licensed per copy of Linspire.

Linspire and Patents - PC/OpenSystems LLC protects all customers from patent lawsuits and patent disputes in all of our software products.

Windows 10 is built for convergence and not for the cloud - Windows 10 is not a cloud OS.

Linspire is built for the cloud - Linspire makes use of utilities to use web apps in your system. These include communications apps, productivity apps, games and storage.

Windows 10 and pricing - Windows 10 is expensive and starts at $129.00 per copy. For the pro and Enterprise versions the cost is more.

Linspire comes with a free office suite thats compatible with Microsoft Office and Google Doc's, anti-virus software, multimedia applications, and it includes a plethora of enterprise quality software . Linspire does not build any of the software packages into the core OS so any piece of software can be uninstalled and it doesnt affect the stability of the system. Linspire comes in 3 flavors; general desktop, Cloud which is our ChromeOS alternative and allows users to use web applications instead of traditional desktop based apps and Nano which powers our embedded and HPC systems. For users who want to use a quality and free-as-in-beer and open source operating system we offer Freespire and Black Lab Linux.
