Title: Linus Torvalds Photographed with Bill Gates - for the First Time Ever

Link: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/25/06/22/213...

"The worlds of Linux and Windows finally came together in real life..."
writes The Verge: Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds, the
creator of the Linux kernel, have surprisingly never met before. That all
changed at a recent dinner hosted by Sysinternals creator Mark Russinovich...
"No major kernel decisions were made," jokes Russinovich in a post on
LinkedIn. More from the Linux news blog Linuxiac: The man on the left is Mark
Russinovich, a software engineer, author, and co-founder of Sysinternals, now
CTO of Azure, Microsoft's cloud computing platform. He has become synonymous
with deep Windows diagnostics and cloud-scale management. In the late 1990s,
his suite of tools (Process Explorer, Autoruns, Procmon) revolutionized the
way administrators and security professionals understood Windows internals.
The man on the far right is another living legend: Dave Cutler. Let me put it
this way - he's one of the key people behind OpenVMS and the brilliant lead
architect who designed Windows NT's kernel and hardware-abstraction layer -
technologies that remain at the heart of every current Windows release, from
server farms to laptops. So, it's no surprise that people often call him the
"father of Windows NT."
