Linux inventor Linus Torvalds said that Microsoft hatred is an Open Source disease which prevented the company from being a good decent citizen.
Last week Microsoft submitted 20000 lines of code to the Linux kernel, all licensed under the GPL. Torvalds said that he hadn't seen the code yet and he is not interested in driver code anyway. He said he was a big believer in "technology over politics". I don't care who the code comes from, as long as there are solid reasons for it to exist and he didn't have to worry about licensing issues.
"I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease. I believe in open development, and that very much involves not just making the source open, but also not shutting other people and companies out," he wrote in his blog.

If microsoft payed me rolayties to stop hating on them i'd take the cash and stfu. Wish me luck.
BTW, Fck microsoft... $$$ !
hatred is kind of strong...
open hardware + open software = best for the consumers.
MS is all about closed to keep prices up.
for me...I have purchased all consoles on launch day going back to Intellivsion and btw ALL are still running....I am on my 3rd 360...and to make matters worse hearing MS say "failure rates are within industry standards" ....biggest lie and rip off to gamers in gamming history..
please name any other one which comes close to it in scope
Thanks Microsoft for bringing so much hate in this world.I thirst for blood and hate,thank u for feeding me such a wonderful meal!
