- Can Linux beat the bloat
- I think the whole "bloated" thing is hogwash.There's no such thing.Neither Windows nor Linux are "bloated". Nor is OS/X. You want functionality you have to pay for it.

- The genius of Steve Jobs is to be valued highly. But so is that of the team around Linus Torvalds. What should matter, in the end, is the quality of the finished product, its usefulness, its value. by Dana Blankenhorn

- I swear, this is not another Unixfication postClarifyLinus would have a difficult time moving the kernel to GPLv3.
