A thread just inspired me to ask this poll.

Well, as much as I'd like to say myself , I'd have to say Linus Torvalds! If it weren't for him, a lot of us Windows/Ex-Windows users would truly be lost!

Did Mr. Torvalds ever get rich off his invention ? Super rich ?

What is he doing nowadays ? Just a matter of curiosity regarding how an obscure student was able to jolt the Empire of Evil.

DOOOG

P.S. About a year ago I read that Linux IT and Linux programmers were being courted desperately by industry and could choose between multiple job offers.

Is that true now?
Was it true then?
