I had the thrill of a lifetime, hosting dinner for Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and David Cutler. Linus had never met Bill, and Dave had never met Linus. No major kernel decisions were made, but maybe next dinner 😉
Bill been eating well
One of the replies to the LinkedIn post:
Dave Cutler (Windows NT) and Linus Torvalds (Linux kernel creator) wouldn’t meet casually; they’re almost certainly plotting a next-gen AI-native operating system (AI OS). With Azure CTO Mark Russinovich in the mix, the effort looks Microsoft-centered and cloud-first.
Key ideas: “Processes” become agents; Command line / GUI replaced by a natural-language interface; Hybrid Windows + Linux kernel layers, orchestrated on Azure for large-scale LLM and agent workloads
Bottom line: expect a Microsoft-led, AI-centric OS that re-imagines traditional operating-system architecture for the LLM era.
Talk about talking out of your ass.

That HAS to be sarcasm … right?
Talking out of your AIss*
Or just great satire, what’s even the difference between that and reality these days?I find comfort in satire because it’s way less absurd.
Thoughts and sprayers to satire!
Someone’s 3d printer making spaghetti in the background.
That backdrop makes everyone look even grayer than they are
Except for the guy on the left, who is clearly wearing a wig.
The awful lighting on this photo makes Linus look older than Bill!
Haha I read that as gayer.
That is wild they’ve never met.
I imagine Linus never seeing a point to such a meeting.
I’d have expected then meeting by chance at a conference at some point
Same. At this point I think he probably did it more to indulge those who wanted that to happen than actually wanting or caring about it.
I like to imagine they were just side-eyeing each other the whole time.
And every movement arises suspicion. One of them jumped when the other reached for his phone in his pocket
Linus looking healthier than ever, dog. Good for him. Live your best life, baby.
Holy shit the comments on that have got to be the sloppiest slop I have ever seen.
Dave Cutler, the legend of VMS and the NT kernel.
