The new combination of a Linux engine that runs windows and linux related files works quite well on my PC, you cant play old DOS games though but that doesnt matter.
I want to hear your opinion about it

Meh, I don't like Linspire.
I prefer a good setup "regular" distro, preferrably with apt-get (currently using Ubuntu).
You can use Dosbox to play old DOS games, ScummVM to play the good old LucasArts adventure games (as well as some others). Wine to play most recent games of popularity, and Cedega to play the games that Wine won't.
Linspire is, in my opinion, a sub-par Linux distribution that is catering to the casual computer user who is switching from Windows to Linux.
The most important things about a distrobution is a good package system, updated packages, and not too much buggy software/packages.
