Berst Names Young/Torvalds 2 of 7 People to Watch

Posted by Hemos on from the keep-an-eye-on-them dept.

De writes "Jesse Berst of ZDNet has named Linus Torvalds and Bob Young as two of his seven people to watch in the next decade. In a gratifying side note, Bill Gates was named as one of the people to leave behind. *grin* " Linus was named as the person in hardware to watch, while Young was named the person in operating system.

    It's funny you mention this cause Slashdot rejected a story proposal of mine just two days ago regarding this Jesse Berst quote:

    "Betting $5 on a 100-to-1 underdog can be fun. Betting $50,000 would be foolish. Yet some PC users are making similarly outrageous wagers on Linux, the underdog in the operating-system wars."

    Exactly _how many_ Jesse Bersts are out there?
