Hosting dinner for Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and David Cutler (linkedin.com)

I recall reading in Just for Fun that Linus described VMS as horrible and reading in Showstopper that Dave hated Unix (allegedly quipping "Get a byte, get a byte, get a byte byte byte" when asked about its I/O model).

I can only imagine the awkwardness around the table if the topic of operating systems came up during the dinner.

More likely, they just had a good laugh if these old opinions ever came up.


They should have invited the Woz for the sake of completeness.


And the hell just froze over...

Love it!


all i can think is: "you were supposed to destroy the sith, not join them"
