I can tell you this much: I am not using any of Jobs' products right
now, but MaraDNS is written in Ritchie's baby, C, and while Ritchie
was not a big fan of Linux (because of the obnoxious behavior of its
fanboys), Linux -- which I use almost every day, albeit usually in a
virtual machine -- is a clone of the UNIX operating system he helped
create.
