Creator of Linux says Windows Vista is "over-hyped"
Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux operating system, thinks Windows Vista is a bit overrated. In an interview with Computerworld, Torvalds said that the upcoming OS is "over-hyped and not a revolutionary advancement."
Torvalds also said that while Vista does have a new interface the OS won’t fundamentally change how people work. Despite how Torvalds feels, Vista will assuredly sell millions of copies because Microsoft has a virtual lock on the desktop operating system market.
