remembered one other thing that put me off about Freespire - there were never
any updates. That could have been because it was early beta - though I do

of the repo - the free version would only provide security updates within
each release cycle, or something like that - I could have all this wrong, and
I'm sure they are going through a lot of changes in policy, anyhow. Time to
revisit I guess...
Yeah, I read that one about fees they charged too. From a
Windows
