================================================
Under the agreement, Linspire will license Microsoft code related to 
Voice over Internet Protocol, Windows Media files and TrueType fonts. 
With the addition of the Microsoft code to Linspire's operating 
system, users will be able to voice-chat with Windows Live Messenger 
buddies, watch Windows Media video and audio files on open-source 
media players, and view and create documents using familiar typefaces.

Linspire also agreed to set Microsoft's Web search engine as the 
default on PCs that run its operating system.
