Cool Who do you think would win in a fight!


Ok. Who would win in a "Cage match" between TUX and Bill Gates. Think carefully about your decision. Remember, Bill used the dark side and can be very tricky. HEH

Even if in a cage match, the power of open source would destroy bill cuase we could all get together, compile a small homemade chainsaw and break it open and send mistress dianah to whip the $hit out of Bill SMACK SMACK

I personally think either Richard Stallman or Linus Torvalds would win.... but they weren't choices so I didn't vote.

Also, this was in the wrong forum, as its not about Linux and its clearly not a technical question, so this is its new home.

I hope that it's open source that will win. But, eventually, there is no way to take my Linux back from me...
Edit: Only a better product can.

I think Tux would.

Bill is to scrawny, and Steve Jobs would forfeit.

If it was a karate fight, Bill would bribe the referees and he would use a weapon, then almost all the audience would be thinking that it was fair, while some of them would try to convince the rest that it wasn't, and eventually Bill would win. But it is only one battle, not the war, and I see that with people like you, our penguin will win the war, not today, not tomorrow, but It's comming...

Personally I think Bill would win, he would declare that broken teeth, black eyes and a ruptured spleen are normal features of a healthy human body and that not being able to ingest anything other than fluids makes the average windows user far more productive that their food guzzling linux equivalents.

Steve Jobs is probably brewing up something nasty and crack-headish in the far left corner, be careful! Don't trust this man! He infected us all with the love/hate relationship of Aqua themeing! You never know whats next...
