“In some industry markets, high quality can be tied to making more money, but I am sure by now all of us know the computer industry is not like that.”

“Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft.”
“Linux has never been about quality. There are so many parts of the system that are just these cheap little hacks, and it happens to run.”
