Former Linspire CEO Kevin Carmony has put up an angry weblog posting after being notified that Linspire has been sold to Xandros. "I predict this was done to: 1) help Robertson drain the company of its cash and resources. When I left Linspire, we had a very profitable year and the company had millions in the bank. I predict Robertson has moved this money to himself, family, and his other companies, leaving Linspire's minority shareholders with nothing. 2) help Robertson save face by issuing a 'Linspire Acquired by Xandros!' press release, instead of living with the public humiliation that Linspire failed under his leadership. (Although, being out lasted by Xandros isn't much less embarrassing.)" That press release has not yet been sent out as of this writing; we'll keep an eye out for confirmation of what's going on.
