Nope. Linus in fact was badly misquoted. What he said was basically
that he'd seen the early Mach kernel source (ca. 1994), and wasn't
impressed (not sure if he actually said "shit"). When he had to
answer the inevitable questions after his remarks were taken out of
context, he pointed out that (a) he hadn't seen the Mach source
lately, and (b) hadn't evaluated OS X yet. What journalists will
sometimes do to get headlines...
