Oh no he didn't!
Ah Linux – the free, open source operating system that bucks the mass market trend. Those who know it inside out may love it because it's many things that Windows is not.
The founding father of Linux, Linus Torvalds, one that you wouldn't expect to be paying attention to Windows 7, was actually caught giving a big thumbs up to the new Microsoft operating system. See?
In actuality, Torvalds was attending the Japan Linux Symposium. The picture was taken as some sort of gag, as Torvalds did not purchase a copy from that stall.

In actuality, he was giving a thumbs up to Windows 7
Even if President Obama were giving a thumbs down on Win7, it's still a good product.
Either Hell must have frozen over or someone set him up!

I never thought he would ever associate himself with anything that is NOT open source.
makes me believe there maybe a gun pointed at him...
I like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but I will not be buying it. So I can give the console version a Thumbs up and the PC version a thumbs up its A$$.
Maybe Apple could learn something from Linus?
Another resounding microsuxx $ucce$$ story... for delusional wintarded m$ fankiddies.
Right... Way to go m$!
Yeah sure, because when ever you take a picture in a public place, everyone around jumps in front of the camera man.
