Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds have apparently never met in person before, despite their pseudo-rivalry.

Genuinely kind of surprised they only met now, one would have thought that in over 30 years they would have run into each other at some point at some conference or other.

    One of them is a contributor. In general the contributors and the C-suits don't travel in the same circles. What it really means is that in 30 years Bill Gates has never wanted to meet Linus Torvalds enough to make it happen.
