Also why would anyone buy this, I do not see what it does that Slimserver and EAC can not do?
Nothing, except be easier to set up and use. For some portion of the market, that makes all the difference.
Yes most of my beefs with Linspire and now MP3beamer are with their marketing and lack of providing anything of substance while providing a charge on something you can get for free.
What they are charging for is packaging and delivery. Ease of use. Which might be a rip-off to you, and might also be a valuable service to someone else. The market will decide.
I'm not in their target market, and most current SB/SS users probably aren't either. And I can't say I'm attracted to their folksy pitchman advert style. But I don't begrudge them their spot in the market. And I am willing to give credit where it's due to anyone who is stepping up to support as many OSS as Linspire does.
