    For comparison, in 10 years Microsoft went from Windows 3.0 to Windows 2000! Clear proof that Microsoft's development process is far superior.

    Speaking of changelogs, this is the funniest one I've found so far for 2.6.4:

    [PATCH] kthread primitive

    From: Rusty Russell

    These two patches provide the framework for stopping kernel threads to
    allow hotplug CPU. This one just adds kthread.c and kthread.h, next
    one uses it.

    Most importantly, adds a Monty Python quote to the kernel.
