Linus recommends Windows7

Linus recommends Windows7 by Chris Taleye.
Microsoft tried to torpedo the success of the Japan Linux Symposium by launching their Windows 7 product that same day. They had setup a big promotion booth across the street from the conference center.

During a break, we decided to make some fun of Microsoft and dragged Linus over there. One of the sales guys took only a minute to get Linus sold on it as you can see in the picture. At least that's what the sales guy thought. He obviously had no clue who Linus is. But in the end Linus surprisingly did not buy a copy. Wise man!
