Why the hostility? Because Linspire turned into a Linux foe shortly after it had received payments from Microsoft.

It was NOT Linspire's "Chairman" who resigned, but their CEO. Linspire's Chairman has always been Michael Robertson, and he is still Linspire's Chairman. It was their CEO, Kevin Carmony, who resigned and moved on to other non-Linux related ventures. Michael Robertson has several ventures, and has for years, not just Linspire. It's not unusual for a Chairman to be involved in multiple companies.

John,
Yes, I know this and I thought the text made it clear. Carmony and others appear to have left, but it also looks like the chairman puts his eyes on other projects (unless it's a case of handling many projects, as always).
So-called "hey hi" as they define it now is all about large companies or regimes remotely controlling the processes running on your machine and even your very own behaviour on your machine, which is in effect no longer your machine but some remotely controlled apparatus
It's very troubling and a symptom of a broken society/system when particular laws or rules are applied and enforced against some people but not against others
