Linus Torvalds Gives Windows 7 A Thumbs Up [Pic]
In this picture Linus Torvalds is giving Windows 7 a thumbs up in Japan. Torvalds is the man behind open source Linux operating system. Why is he doing this?

Another theory is that Linus is pointing out that only one copy has been sold off the shelf.
