Weekend fun for the OS junkies. A collection of some interesting quotes from the three influential figures in the history of Operating Systems. Some of the quotes are controversial and some of them are just shockingly funny. Personal favorite: Steve Jobs' quote about Bill Gates "He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger."

Bill Gates is directly responsible for over 1.5 billion dollars a year going towards things like HIV research, Financial services for the poor, and Global libraries. Yeah, the world will defiantly remember him as Hitler 2 because he didn't do anything spectacular, like write emacs and give away the source.
You and I have a different view of ethical bankruptcy. I don't care how capitalistic a guy is or what he did in the IT sector, if he devotes his life to being a source for good in the world, that is laudable. And to think that silly things like IT politics outweigh that is kind of sick.
