> By: Tony Smith - The Register

> Linus Torvalds has spoken. Apple's MacOS X, he says, is "a piece 
> of crap".
> 
> To be fair, it's actually MacOS X's kernel, Mach, which the Linux 
> creator so
> dislikes. The quote comes from Torvalds forthcoming autobiography, 
> entitled
> Just for Fun, and continues: "[Mach] contains all the design 
> mistakes you

> That won't please Steve Jobs, who tried to get Torvalds working on 
> the
> next-generation Mac operating system back in 1997, not long after 
> taking

> 
> And it's particularly ironic given that one of MacOS X's selling 
> points is
> that it's based on Unix. The OS' core, dubbed Darwin, is derived 
> from BSD.
