Thank god the world, especially the computer software development world has Linus Torvalds the man who single handily gave us the Linux kernel.

This is a guy who sees an operating system for what it should be! He has made some comments on the new Apple OS OS X Leopard and Windows Vista and I think he says it all when he laments on how these OSes are designed with one thing in mind, and that is to force consumers and businesses to upgrade on a regular basis.

Upgrade in the OS world stands for one thing and that is to take a bunch of your MONEY. The cost of these endless upgrades to consumers and businesses is ridiculous. With all of the bug issues these new OS models have out of the box, well I'd be much happier if they simply got one OS working correctly, let us use it for a couple of year and then release a new "fully functioning" OS. One can only hope for the day that Linux is developed so that desktop, consumers have easy access to this product. If they ever get to a GUI that works for all users and if we could see a little more support from the bigger companies like Adobe we may one day see an OS that is included in your motherboard!

At any rate, 10 stars to Linus Torvalds for developing an OS that is used for the One Laptop per Child project. Intel bailed out, no Microsoft isn't helping, nor is Apple. Hey this is to bring kids all over the world up to speed on the "New World" of technology and the big players are not interested in supporting it. I quickly forget that profit gets in the way of anything good.
