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."

Yes, Bill Gates does indeed get bad press all the time.
Like the article said, he was once the worlds richest man, and most of the potshots against him were taken by people jealous of his success.
Torvalds is a complete loon, can we have some more quotes please Linus ?

Yes, Bill Gates... most of the potshots against him were taken by people jealous of his success.
When I see comments like this, the first thing I think is just how ethically bankrupt the world is. You need to face the fact that Bill Gates, like Getty, and the other Robber Barons, is nobody to look up to. History will not treat them kindly because Ethical Bankruptcy isn't an admirable trait.

Linus is VERY tongue in cheek, and VERY funny.
Jobs takes himself too seriously.
Gates, he gets bad quotes printed as much as George Bush's. half the time they are made up too.
