Linux Legend Loves Some Windows 7

4:20AM October 24, 2009 | Sean Fallon

Why would Linus Torvalds, the man behind the Linux kernel, be giving a big thumbs up in front of a Japanese Windows 7 booth?

Maybe he’s just a laid back guy. Maybe the copies are pirated. Maybe it’s because there is a shitload of copies and only, like, one appears to have been sold. Actually, Microsoft tried to spoil the Japan Linux Symposium by setting up a booth across the street. Obviously, Torvalds was amused. [Picasa via Engadget]

    I guess Linus is happy because Windows 7 is so daunting that he had an easy job thwarting the attack by Mothra.

    That is a bootleg stall.
