I fell down laughing. Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman top the list? So much for popular votes.

RMS can really save Microsoft, encouraging freedom for MS users. That will be the best thing MS could ever have done.
The Internet Strikes Again
At first, I laughed, but the more I think about it that may not be as crazy and hilarious as it looks like at the first sight. No matter what you think about Linus and RMS, they both have leadership qualities.
That's pure nonsense.
Whoever runs the site blows away troll votes every once in a while so hopefully Scott Hanselman comes back on top.
In all seriousness, Linus might be OK. But RMS is too purist and never practical.
They should seriously consider someone like pg. Someone with ideas.
Voted for RMS only because VS is the worlds worst editor.
I have always wondered what would happen if Bill Gates would turn around one day and say 'fuck it, I'm going to open source the whole kit and kaboodle.'
What would it be like? Would people brave trying to fix all the problems in the windows kernel? I wonder what XP source code looks like. How many people would try to fork MS Office? Bt most interesting would be what would happen to the business landscape if all MS products were free. Would Apple die or become larger? Would malware go through the roof, or be extinguished? What would large corporate license holders do with the savings? (would there even be that many savings in comparison to TCO?)
