Who's better for America, Gates, Jobs or Linus?

I'd have to give Steve Jobs the credit... he for one is the person who
brought the PC to the public in the first place, and he has gone on to
making it simple for every person to operate... neither bill or linus have
moved up to that level.

Bill has done nothing but get rich off the uneducated, and the geeks that
don't understand there is a better way...

Linus has developed a knee jerk movement to the MS case, which gives
everyone a short term burst of ideas about free oses... but after the case
is over, Linus will be a footnote i'm afraid...

If Linus were to stop now, his accomplishment >might< become a footnote.  
However, from what I've read about and heard from Linus, he's not going to  
do that.

If Linus Torvalds got run down by a bus tomorow (driven by a Microsoft
lacky), Linux would almost certainly continue.
