  Maker of Lindows laughs at face of danger (and Microsoft)
Time: 14:02 EST/19:02 GMT | News Source: USA Today | Posted By: Robert Stein

Michael Robertson has a software glitch in his belfry. He's a crazy man. Certifiable. And God bless him for it. Maybe he'll finally give the technology industry some spine when it comes to going up against Microsoft. That, or he is tech's Chuck "The Bayonne Bleeder" Wepner, about to get turned into goulash by the Muhammad Ali of software. Either way, this bout should be entertaining.
