If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.

Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can't stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.

I don't actually follow other operating systems much. I don't compete - I just worry about making Linux better than itself, not others.

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

I'm perfectly happy complaining, because it's cathartic, and I'm perfectly happy arguing with people on the Internet because arguing is my favourite pastime - not programming.

I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease.

I'm not worried about the kernel itself or the basic system. All the commercialization is about the distributions and the applications. As such, it only brings value-added things to Linux, and it doesn't take anything away from the Linux scene.
