“Now, with a group of former Redmond colleagues, he’s
backing Linux. Their start-up Chromium is a Linux ‘pure play’, and
he’s effusive in his praise of the operating system.‘Linux is an awesome operating system,’ he says. ‘On the server
side Linux is the most advanced operating system out there today,”
he tells us, as it lacks the architectural baggage of Windows. ‘It
