[Gambas-user] OFF: Linus Torvalds' Q&A

[Nelson Ferraz]

Last month, Geekcruises' Linux Lunacy cruise to Alaska proved that Linux 
and Open Source are hot enough topics to even warm up Northern waters. 
The feature of the trip was a candid Q&A with Linux creator Linus Torvalds.

A small quote: "The killer application for Windows was Visual Basic. It 
allowed you to make your hokey, self-made applications that did 
something stupid for your enterprise. But you could make them look good, 
and you could use a database. And you didn't have to understand it. Or 
care. Right? And that was a huge leap".

I wonder if he has ever heard about Gambas... ;)
