And if it was a Lindows aka Linspire car, it would have the following
problems.

1. Even though claims by the CEO that the Linspire car could work with
Windows car parts natively, the feature was removed and then later denied.

2. While the Linspire car is cheap and pretty upfront they hit you with tons
of hidden cost. It cost you to open thedoor , turn the car on, roll down
the car windows, and even play the cdplayer, worst of all this has to be
done via the Click n Run center.

3. Even though the Linspire car is based off a basic Linux car and like
other linux based cars should be able to tak linux car parts.... Nope the
Linspire cars have made so many alterations that the simplist of parts
refuse to work correctly unless you buy the part from Linspires Click and
Run Shop.

4. Perhaps the worst of all, 5 years down the line Linspire corp, will
probabaly no longer be around to give support or fix your linspire card,
because the ceo decided to poke the big dog on the road with a big stick and
then cried because the dog bit him in the butt, then took all there money.
