Fortune magazine article needs more info to be informative.

 I agree this article wasn't a pice of art, but if Fortune's kind of tabloid 
for CEO's, Theo should not agree on interview.

 For me, not dealing with people who bad mouth everything that they don't like 
it's about being adult. You don't deal with everyone, but you don't call them 
names. This article was just one of reasons, have you ever read anything else 
from Theo? I like his code, but I don't like his attitude.

 Maybe it is. But I wonder. In prev. interview Theo stated he never used 
Linux. So this reads as armchair analys. I know he has all the knowledge to 
judge things just by code, but somehow I can not belive he have read all the 
2.6 tree. ;-)

 I like Linus opinion about BSD vs. Linux: Linux wants to be good at 
everything, BSD want to be perfect on one area. 

 I wish we just all could quit this something vs. something wars. But that's 
just a pipe dream.

PS. I've kissed girls (lots of;-) -- that makes me BSD user, right? :D
