4. Stability - Linspire Five-0 has amazing stability and reliability. Linspire Five-0 provides quick and easy ways to control misbehaving software so you don't have to constantly reboot. No more BSOD (Blue Screen of Death).
   
   
5. Safe and Secure - A built-in firewall fully protects your computer from potential threats. This makes your system safe from hackers who spread viruses, spyware, malware and other hazards that plague Microsoft Windows-based computer systems. Forget about searching for latest updates, subscriptions and system scans. Say goodbye to getting alerts from McAfee, TrendMicro, Norton and Microsoft. You shouldnt have to worry about them. Linspire is virus-free.

CNR - ("Click and run") is an innovative online software library that gives you access to more than 2,000 software programs - just one click of your mouse and programs are downloaded, installed and ready to use! These software products would cost thousands if you were running a Microsoft Windows based operating system. For example, Engineering and architectural firms benefit from QCAD - a software comparable and file format compatibility with Autodesk CAD costing hundreds of thousands per computer. Basic QCAD is free from CNR. QCAD training is available from one of our Partners.
   
   You do not have technical skills to install any of these programs!
