iTWire claims their list of Top 10 reasons why Steve Ballmer should be certified insane is offered tongue-in-cheek, but it is vaguely possible that some people might take it more seriously than that. The list counts down, clocking in #5 as: “Ballmer can get a little quirky when Linux is mentioned. ‘Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches.’ Doesn’t sound completely sane to me.

Nice collection of the Top 50 Linux Quotes of All Time… loads of fun. #17. More in the comments, like “Microsoft isn’t evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.” and “Really, I’m not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.” — both from Linus Torvalds. I looked back at our most-linked piece in the archives to see what might be quotable: “Free review copies are provided by book publishers and software companies, and have been for aeons. I can’t say for sure, but Gutenburg probably gave away review copies of the Bible, so this is nothing new. …are good reviews ‘bought’ for Linux distributions? Hard to imagine when most of the product is free anyway.  …Did we received a free copy? Yes, it’s called a download”.
