Hosting dinner for Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and David Cutler
- boricj 1y agoI recall reading in Just for Fun that Linus described VMS as horrible and reading in Showstopper that Dave hated Unix (allegedly quipping "Get a byte, get a byte, get a byte byte byte" when asked about its I/O model). I can only imagine the awkwardness around the table if the topic of operating systems came up during the dinner.
