Olivier Crete, developpeur de GnomeICU est aussi
dans ce cas, et il va etre probablement embauché par AOL qui compte embaucher Linus par la meme occcasion !!!!! bon, a vous de juger:

came to the conclusion that Windows is a support nightmare and that
Microsoft will never let them monopolize the Internet, they have decided
to produce AOL OS. This OS will not run on that annoying, complicated, non
standard, bugger, etc, PC hardware, but it will instead run on a new
custom machine produced by the new AmVidia born from the merger of Nvidia
and AMD. This will make it even easier for everyone! So easy, no wonder
they're number one!
Ohh, and I forgot, Linus who just retired from that Linux thing will be
join AOL as Chief Software Architect with one goal in mind, make more
money than BG.
