The Ultimate Tech Celebrity Deathmatches
Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates made his vast fortune from the commercial success of the Windows operating system. Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, donated the foundations of a powerful and completely free OS to the public, providing an open-source alternative to Microsoft's paid-for system.

Gates left his corner of the ring, approaching Torvalds with a look of concern. How could someone who paid nothing to enter the ring be in the fight? Rather safe than sorry, Gates threw the first punch and smacked Torvalds square in the ribs. Reeling, the Linux creator managed to hurl back an uppercut, breaking the jaw of the ageing billionaire.
Only 30 seconds into the fight, a Linux supporter ran into the ring and kicked the floored Gates in the shin. Another landed in the ring and repeatedly slapped him about the face. More and more quick hits were thrown by angry Linux fans. Fans of Gates sat horrified in their seats, unable to come to his defence, and the Microsoft magnate conceded defeat after 20 minutes of pounding from hundreds of open-source contributors.
In a post-fight interview, Gates claimed he was suffering from an illness that was going around and his body's defences just couldn't handle the disease. An onlooker suggested people eat more fruit in future to better defend themselves from Gates' condition.
