From the interview:

The other thing is, the vulnerabilities are in the browsers, and mostly, the same browsers that run on Linux, run on Windows.

Really? Where can I download this version of IE8 for Linux? Enquiring minds want to know.

Seconded.

I found the excuse "nobody uses it on the desktop" to be very much cheap talk.

If he'd been HONEST and said "I have no interest in Linux", fine.

However, I think the result would be just like last year. A hacked Windows, a hacked Mac, and an unhacked Linux.
