Linus Torvalds: 'Linux is Bloated'

Linux is bloated and scary? Thank god Linus Torvalds said that and not some Windows guy or else this would kick off the fight of all forum fights. Wait…it might do that anyway.

Linus Torvalds, founder of the Linux kernel, made a startling comment at LinuxCon in Portland, Ore., on Monday: "Linux is bloated." While the open-source community has long pointed the finger at Microsoft's Windows as bloated, it appears that with success has come added heft, heft that makes Linux "huge and scary now," according to Torvalds.
