Finnish companies tend to be very traditional, not taking many risks. Silicon Valley is completely different: people here really live on the edge.

The thing I love about diving is the flowing feeling. I like a sport where the whole point is to move as little as humanly possible so your air supply will last longer. That's my kind of sport. Where the amount of effort spent is absolutely minimal.

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

I've actually found the image of Silicon Valley as a hotbed of money-grubbing tech people to be pretty false, but maybe that's because the people I hang out with are all really engineers.

On a purely technical side, I'm really very happy with how Linux gets used in a very wide set of different areas. It's important for development.

I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.

I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.
