Laugh at Windows all you want, this is still a pretty cool thing to have hacked together and hopefully will pave the way for some more useable stuff

Windows has always been famous for its battery efficiency and overall efficient design that's optimized for a low-power chip. Windows tends to rank in the top 3 most power efficient operating systems...when you consider only the top 3 most popular operating systems.

Probably not as he runs the Linux kernel and isn't known for trendy stunts

I think they were referring to a different Linus
