I respect Linus and his decision. I think we all should.
He is Finnish and he created linux. He has the right to use a M$ Windoze if he wants.

Google phones are nice and they are linux.

The argument of GNU is not from Linus. That is from RMS.

N900 is great but maybe not ready for him as yet. That doesn't make the N900 bad in anyway. I love my N900.
