I too am really disappointed by this "interview". Why oh why do they _always_ have to ask things about Microsoft from Linus?? Can't they just for once leave Microsoft out of the question and ask some interesting and serious questions? Arrrgh! Please, someone do a _good_ interview, pretty please..? :O

Whole thing went down in first question where Torvalds said that he doesn't use Microsoft products, sigh why then bother asking other 2.
Because it was an email interview. But I agree that if the interviewer had done their homework, they would have known better than to ask these sorts of questions.
Nevertheless, Linus being Linus, we get very polite, thoughtful answers that refocus the discussion onto the source of Linux's strength and future. I enjoyed reading his responses.
Oh, and that funky, weird language - it's Klingon, dude, definitely Klingon.

I found whole interview really stupid, they asked 4 questions and 3 of them was about Microsoft. Whole thing went down in first question where Torvalds said that he doesn't use Microsoft products, sigh why then bother asking other 2. I was so hoping reading good conversation on how Torvalds sees future of, not only Linux kernel, but generally on computer world. Too bad this is another episode of trash journalism.
