Default Go Linux!
This was WAY to funny to be passed up, I'm sure EVERY single Linux user is gonna chuckle inside like a school boy, I did Win7 on desktop for gaming, always rocking Ubuntu on the lappy.


If you happen to not know, its Linus Torvalds, the big man himself behind your Linux Kernel

so my question is - is he laughing because those are all pirated Chinese copies?? Or do you think they're legite and it's just the fact he's posing in front of Windows 7 booth?

If it's pirated copies - I find it funny (due to the irony). If it's just a legite asian booth - then it's a pretty boring picture.

That's why I used "Asian" in my second term used. Still, those copies could be pirated Chinese....but Japan is much more appreciative of licensing and IP in general!

Which means it's a boring pic!! jk...still funny. Guy is a lot younger than I would have imagined..

The copies aren't pirated. The pictures we're taken on the official launch day of Windows 7. Good to know that Linus has a good sense of humor

He is about 40 or so. He developed Linux when he was like 21.

Microsoft tried to torpedo the success of the Japan Linux Symposium by launching their Windows 7 product that same day. They even had setup a big promotion booth across the street from the conference center.

During a break, we decided to make some fun of Microsoft and dragged Linus over there.
He was over there for a reason, other than irony. Your troll-fu is weak. It's light humor, and geek humor at that.
