I think Linux Torvalds is a very smart guy

To be fair, he didn't mention that the cheap hardware used in developing Linux by him and hundreds of thousands of other developers was made available by the popularity of Windows
Did anyone wonder how computers became so popular, and consequently, cheap?

Consider how bleak computing would be today without the work of people like Linus Trovalds and Richard Stallman.
