Tenchusatsu: Re: Torvaldis

Sorry, he would clash with Jerry Sanders

Of course, he would also clash with Andy Grove, Michael Dell ,Lewis Pratt, Lou Gerstner, Craig Barrett etc. This is why Linux is such a great solution looking for a problem.

Hi tench,

I met him last year in the US, in San Fran.

What a pompous, know-it-all anti-american ass, a real anti-business hacker socialist.
"Linus Torvald"

He turned me off immensely, As speakers, and orators, I think McNealy, Ed Zander are much better, and much more personable. If McNealy could get off his MSFT bandwagon, he'd be better.

Thank God Zander runs SUN...

Anyway, Torvald is thoroughly without merit as to industry knowldge and trends.

JMHO

take care
Jean
