  I believe that program was through Linspire:

  This kind of PC is OK for a the top %5 of users (tech knowledge
wise), but the average user just wants support of their office apps
and the ability to play video games.  I believe this $200 unit
actually comes with support of Google's Office apps.  I really think
it'll give M$ a run for its money.

  ( not really sure what the recent spike in MSFT is all about )
