In mid-July, Lindows agreed to change its name to Linspire as part of a court settlement with archnemesis Microsoft. Now, with $20 million in hand from Microsoft, also due to the settlement, the company will put more emphasis on business deals around pre-installed Linux PCs, said Michael Robinson, Linspire's president.

In an interview with LinuxPlanet, Robinson used the term "ferocious" to describe Microsoft's legal attacks on Lindows. During a long series of court suits, Microsoft contended that the Linux name impinged on the Windows trademark.
