So Ballmer et al were wrong _after all_. Either those basement nerds are really
talented or the kernel was never written by basement nerd. I think it's the
latter. Actually, Linus lives like a celebrity in CA and people write the
kernel for a living. Many others are volunteer professors and professionals
from companies like Oracle.
Perception can work magic. Communism, basement nerds, only command line, good
just foe servers, hard to use, no support and so on and so forth...
