Linus Gives Windows 7 The Thumbs-Up

Yes it’s true, Linus Torvalds (author of the Linux kernel) gives Microsoft’s new OS, Windows 7, the thumbs-up!

OK well in case you haven’t guessed it yet, Linus doesn’t really approve of Windows 7.  The reason for the photo is simple; according to Ars Technica, Microsoft had set up a big Windows 7 promotion booth across the street from the Japan Linux Symposium conference, so one of the attendees decided to grab Mr Linux for a cheeky photo in front of Microsoft’s booth!

We suspect the guy behind the counter had no idea who the man giving the thumbs-up was, sadly for him Linus did not purchase a copy of Windows 7 in the end (funny that).
