Linus Takes on Microsoft
Posted on May 18, 2007 by Ben Cecka
Personal Computer World tells us that Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel, “has asked Redmond to name the infringements so that their veracity can be challenged and workarounds found” in their article titled, Torvalds tells Microsoft to put up or shut up.
It’s almost becoming characteristic of Microsoft to call foul against Linux and then offer little substance or extremely biased evidence behind it. Until they pursue a patent for creating a bloated and unstable Operating System, I doubt this will go very far. If something is found to infringe, it will be only a short matter of time to alter the code to avoid it.

I’ll give you one guess as to which operating system is better than any linux distribution and windows **** box…
It’s just part of Micro$ofts FUD campaign against everything that’s not theirs. And as usual, it’s all bark and no bite.
