Linus Torvalds Celebrates 20 Years of Windows 3.11 With Linux 3.11-rc5 Launch

hypnosec writes "Linus Torvalds released Linux 3.11-rc5 yesterday wishing that it would have been a lovely coincidence if he were able to release final Linux 3.11 as on the exact same day 20 years ago Microsoft released Windows 3.11. 'Sadly, the numerology doesn't quite work out, and while releasing the final 3.11 today would be a lovely coincidence (Windows 3.11 was released twenty years ago today), it is not to be,' notes Torvalds in the release announcement."

What a loser. Just let your project stand on it's own instead of always trying to copy everyone else.

At least he didn't insult anyone.

That is party spirit in Finland.

I thought Linux added on networking to the OS a LONG time ago.

Hey man, don't rain on the parade. Better late than never, right? I mean heck, I call Linux finally getting networking a win. If you're gonna be such a Debbie Downer, you should just put a sock in it. I bet there's a stack of users rejoicing right now.
