So here's a guy who has done all kinds of interesting projects. He's in the process of learning things in numerous and varied topics, and here the interviewer bogs half the interview down with, "So how does Microsoft suck? Let's talk about Linux! Or is Windows awesome?" You could just see João struggling to pull the interview towards fresh innovative directions, while Andy worked to keep belaboring the decrepid Linux/Windows debate. It was painful. At least João got some words in edgewise towards the end.
