Linspire let down

I know I have been raving about Linspire, but I have had several problems with it lately. I was using LSomgs to tag MP3s and Linspire did a couple of strange things. It has problems with partitions. It originally found and mounted several different partitions, then for some reason it dumped them. I manually edited the fsab to mount my Windows partition. In the middle of tagging MP3s I shutdown the computer and turned it on the next day, for some reason most of the the songe I tagged were not tagged and I had to redo them.
There are some well documentated sound problems with Linspire 5-0 and I am experinecing them on my desktop, LSongs works, but none of the desktop sounds work. I have also noticed a Window like glitch, you click on "turn off" computer and the computer does nothing. This happens fairly oftern on my Windows machines and it is very irritating.
The next version of Linspire is almost ready, I am going to install it on all of my computers when it is, that should fix all of my little OS glitches. I am a little worries that Linspire is turning into Windows and I have to do an OS reload every year.
