Linus Torvalds is remarkable, not only for being the technical genius who wrote Linux, but for then being able to inspire and lead an enormous team of people to devote their free time to work on the operating system and bring it to maturity. We sent Richard Morris off to interview Linus, and find out more.

Geek who bad-mouth competitors to gain cheap popularity is not worth any respect.

You can't respect many geeks then because there's more OS fanboys than there are OS developers.

In fact you'll be hard pressed to find any geek that's has been that involved in an OS and is entirely impartial.

I was going to suggest Balmer as a geek who bad mouths, but realistically he's just a brute.
