Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.

Let's put it this way: if you need to ask a lawyer whether what you do is "right" or not, you are morally corrupt. Let's not go there. We don't base our morality on law.

I've been employed by the University of Helsinki, and that has been paying my bills. Obviously a ''real job'' pays better than most universities will pay, but I've been very happy with this arrangement I get to do whatever I want, and I have no commercial pressures whatsoever doing this.

Bill Gates really seems to be much more of a business man than a technologist, while I prefer to think of Linux in technical terms rather than as a means to money.

I'm a big non-believer in manual driver and kernel configuration, be it visual or not.

In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems.

It just makes it even harder for people to even approach the (open source) side, when they then end up having to worry about public humiliation.
