14 DAY TRIAL // It seems that Linux people had a lot more things to say about Microsoft, than Microsoft said about Linux, and the undisputed champion is Linus Torvalds.
Even if Microsoft’s words about Linux weren't too kind, as we showed in yesterday's Top Five Microsoft Funny Quotes About Linux, the open source people also had things to say, sometimes in a more aggressive manner (although they were usually right).
"Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect." (Linus Torvalds).
"The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." (Ernst Jan Plugge)
"In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems." (Linus Torvalds)
"Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems." (Linus Torvalds)
"When you say 'I wrote a program that crashed Windows,' people just stare at you blankly and say 'Hey, I got those with the system, for free.'" (Linus Torvalds)
