I must confess that I installed Linspire v-4.5 & 5.0 on my father's PC and my father-in-law's PC. In both cases it was to prevent them from doing any further damage to the mothers' PCs with some of the web sites they would frequent (some boys never grow up). Over the past 2 years I have found Linspire to be extremely easy to set up, stable, easy to update for Linus and the applications I downloaded to the PCs and easy for the fathers to use. I am glad Linspire is going to offer C&R for non-Linspire Linux Distros. There may an annual fee, but I am already paying an annual fee just to reward Linspire for a job well done if nothing else (and it is tax deductible <g>).
