If you want an application to be portable, you don't necessarily create an abstraction layer like a microkernel so much as you program intelligently.

On the internet nobody can hear you being subtle.

Every time I see some piece of medical research saying that caffeine is good for you, I high-five myself. Because I'm going to live forever.

With software, you really can replicate and do a lot of very real and active development in parallel, and actually try it out and see what works.

OK, I admit it. I was just a front-man for the real fathers of Linux, the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.

I never try to make any far-reaching predictions, so much can happen that it simply only makes you look stupid a few years later.

I'm simply too content doing what I want to do to really have a very negative attitude towards MicroSoft. They make bad products - so what? I don't need to care, because I happily don't have to use them, and writing my own alternative has been a very gratifying experience in many ways.
