Rmonster As was said already the software that will be downloaded is TOTALLY 100% Free using the coupon code "LINDOWS". You are mixing apples with oranges in your statement. What linspire is charging $14.95 monthly for is a service the call CNR Warehouse (Click N Run) The add-ons you download from CNR would be a 15 day trial, then disabled unless you subscribe to CNR. Once again this is not the Linspire OS, but add-ons downloaded through CNR. I hope this clears up the misunderstanding.
