Linus Torvalds To Head Windows 9 Project

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the trying-something-new dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, and a champion of free and open source software has finally called it a day and has agreed to join Microsoft as the project head of the upcoming Windows 9 project. According to Bloomberg, Linus will be working on a new Kernel design for Microsoft that will make, usually vulnerable, Windows OS virtually impossible to be infected by viruses and malware."

    So many people get so upset over /.'s April Fools hijinks. It's rather entertaining, honestly.

    Slashdot, for so many years, has done such a SHITTY job of April Fool's day, I like having a big giant indicator that a story is not even worth looking at. When I visit again tomorrow (seriously -- I'm done for the day) I can just scroll and read all the stories down to the point where they're encrypted. Thanks guys!

    Seriously, you guys suck balls at 4/1. I'd complain, but what I have to say has been said a million times before, and you're obviously not listening, so why bother. I check in each year to see if you did anything clever* like "OMG PONIES!", then I'm gone until 4/2.

    * and yes, "OMG PONIES!" counts as clever around here. Low, low standards.
