"I had the thrill of a lifetime, hosting dinner for Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and David Cutler. Linus had never met Bill, and Dave had never met Linus. No major kernel decisions were made, but maybe next dinner 😉" -- Mark Russinovich

Thanks, I was wondering who the other guys were. Torvalds in the former enemy's lair. He's the winner in this pic.
