Linus Torvalds

"Shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software with the worst of free software."

"Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done."

"In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems."

"That's what makes Linux so good: you put in something, and that effort multiplies. It's a positive feedback cycle."

"Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems."

"The Linux philosophy is 'Laugh in the face of danger'. Oops. Wrong One. 'Do it yourself'. Yes, that's it."
