Linux creator Linus Torvalds has issued a stinging attack on Apple's OS X Leopard operating system.

Torvalds was in Melbourne last week for the linux.conf.au conference said that Leopard was a much better system than Vista. But OS X in some ways is actually worse than Windows to program for. Leopard's file system is “complete and utter crap”, he said,  which is scary.

He said that an operating system should be completely invisible and yet to Microsoft and Apple it is a way to control the whole environment and to force people to upgrade their applications and hardware.
