"Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems"

- Linus Torvalds

About this Quote

Linus Torvalds' quote suggests that Microsoft is not a naturally negative company, however rather that their products are of low quality. He suggests that Microsoft is not deliberately attempting to develop poor items, but instead that their operating systems are simply not up to par. This can be because of a lack of innovation, or an absence of sources to develop better products. It might likewise result from an absence of understanding of the needs of their consumers. Whatever the factor, Torvalds is recommending that Microsoft is not a bad business, yet rather that their products are simply not good enough. This can be a warning to Microsoft to tip up their video game as well as develop better items, or it could be a pointer to customers to be knowledgeable about the quality of the items they are purchasing. Either way, it is clear that Torvalds thinks Microsoft is not an evil firm, yet rather that their products are just unsatisfactory.
