Linus always struck me as someone who just wanted to make a great OS. And he (and millions of his helpers), succeeded. Jobs is an egomaniac who just wants to steal as much money as can by telling lies on TV (see Mac vs PC for an example) and Stallman is an idealogical freak who would cut off his own nose just to spite his face.
I would actually enjoy reading a review of Windows 7 by Linus because, unlike frothing at the mouth posters on ZDNet, I believe Linus would be able to put most of his bias aside and actually give it a fair review.
