Bill Gates.. he has no talent when it comes to do good product but he must be a genius when it comes to sell shit.
They both are in there own ways. Though Bill has shown his "smartness" more as compare to Torvalds. Linus is more like a icon for oensource community. People who don't know much about opensource thinks that Linux is all abou linus torvalds but Linux is much more than that. There are hundreds of thousands of people,equally talented as torvalds, have comtrbuted for linux development ... By the way probaly Melinda Gates is more smarter than Bill Gates *wink*...Hmmmm and may be Nintendo is the most smartest of them all because I read in one of the threads that he wants to marry Melinda Gates (if I am correct )
