It must be a fortune

I have to confess I'm flummoxed by all this. Mr McB is obviously not a complete moron, he is after all the gaffer of a large company. So unless he knows something that the creators of Linux didn't know when they were writing it .. ie that they were actually just cloning the exact code for Unix .. then there must be a story behind the story.

Maybe he really is being paid off by Big Bill and the Seattle Massif ... I just hope it's a VERY large chunk of change. After all this, he's going to be all but unemployable by anyone else.
