On a more serious note, having a CTO at Microsoft, of all places, jump in on your side is kind of embarrassing.

That comment was from a few years ago and wasn't in relation to Linux, and the company he co-founded made some pretty useful things (And revealed the Sony rootkit in 2005) before MS bought them.

Oh, that changes things. Founding a company and being an executive when Microsoft acquires you - well, it doesn't necessarily make you technically competent, but it does make you a certain kind of smart.
