Bill Gates meets the man who created software once regarded as one of the ‘biggest Microsoft enemy’
Bill Gates and the creator of the Linux operating system, Linus Torvalds, have publicly met for the first time. The two tech industry titans were seen together at a dinner hosted by Mark Russinovich, Chief Technology Officer of Microsoft Azure. Linux is a free and open-source operating system that was once regarded as one of the “biggest enemies of Microsoft.”
The meeting was revealed via a LinkedIn post by Russinovich, which also included Microsoft’s David Cutler. This encounter marks a significant moment, given that Linux was once considered a major competitor to Microsoft’s popularity in the software world.
