Linus Torvalds To Join Microsoft To Head Windows 9 Project
This
is breaking bad. This is big. Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, and
a champion of free and open source software has finally call it a day
and has agreed to join Microsoft as the project head of the upcoming
Windows 9 project. According to Bloomberg,
Linus will be working on a new Kernel design for Microsoft that will
make, usually vulnerable, Windows OS virtually impossible to be infected
by viruses and malware.
Windows 9 is the most ambitious program
of Microsoft till date as it aims to revolutionize the computing
experience like never before. Apart from no viruses, it will also not
have the blue screen of death anymore. The OS will run smoothly on any
PC, Tablet or Smartphone providing a unified experience on all devices.
Windows 9 will boot very quickly (in 9 seconds) and will not slow down
after one month of use. It will also not have tons of temporary files
and user will face no registry problem at all.
(Linus + Microsoft) vs Apple?
Many in the industry seeing this step as
an end to 20 years long battle between Linux and Microsoft. On the
other hand, some speculate that this is the second level of Linus vs Apple battle
and Linus has joined hands with Microsoft to take on Apple. Linus had
been unhappy with the iOS file system and called it worse than that of
Windows. Honestly, Linus has been unhappy over a lot of stuff lately,
remember Fuck You, NVIDIA?
Any ways, it would be interesting to see how Apple reacts to this move
by Microsoft while it plans to take on Google with its recently launched
‘iSearch‘ search engine.
Angry reactions from Linux fans:
The news of Linus joining Microsoft has
outraged the hardcore Linux users. Forums and Google Plus are flooded
with reactions from angry users who felt like cheated on this news.
Billy Soft, who started using Ubuntu 2 weeks back, when his Windows
Vista crashed, was almost in tears. “Man! I hate Windows”, said Billy,
“I was making fun of my friends the other day for they are still using
Windows. Windows is for grandpa, Linux is hip and cool. It makes you
feel like a Geek. But now my friend just poked me asking if I’ll revert
to Windows after 20 years.”
