informationweek.com — The creator of Linux is excited about solid-state drives, expects progress in graphics and wireless networking, and says the operating system is strong in virtualization despite his personal lack of interest in the area.

Can we compare "...no single entity ends up being in control of where it all goes." to watching YT and not knowing video's marks/categories/opinions? You just browse the catalog and if something is good you may feel lucky. I think many people don't use Linux cause it's not adjusted to technology (tried to connect your BT from China in Linux environment?). Because in fact no one really cares...

schestowitz, some of us are sick and tired of you posting on every single article in the Linux/Unix section. It doesn't help much that you frequently link to your own sensationalist blog as a source for your own arguments.

2 thumbs up for Linus. It was almost like InformationWeek was looking to get him to rant about MS. Instead he simply stated the truth that MS products are simply uninteresting to him and proceeded to give great responses on where he thinks Linux is headed. IMO well done and refreshing. (He's not a fanboy, he's the godfather!)

<a class="user" href="http://www.linux.com/feature/121930">http://www.linux.com/feature/121930</a>The whole GNOME/Microsoft thing is really confusing to me at the moment. Couple that with Torvald's distaste of GNOME ( <a class="user" href="http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS8745257437.html">http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS8745257437.html</a> ), and it paints a rather bad picture of them. I would just like a more concise source for what is really going on.

Just to answer my own question there, <a class="user" href="http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/ecma-tc45-statement.html">http://www.gnome.org/press/releases/ecma-tc45-stat ...</a>That clears it up a bit for me.

Well, I actually question some of the newer parts of GNOME as well, like MONO.They are truly constructing something that legitimizes the case for intellectual property infringement.When some judge actually decides MONO is too much of a clone for a technilogical tool (this does not concern double-click style patents but true technology patents), the FUD due to that might back fire to all linux technology including those that are original.If I were Microsoft i would be very happy with MONO. The trojan horse of the linux eco-system. Those actively promoting it on microsoft-sponsored-payroll (such as Novell), should have their loyalty questioned.I haven't followed any of the discussion though. Why would any one even attack Jeff Waugh is beyond me.. he is great contributor and I would rather have him running the GNOME foundation than the current microsoft undercovers.

Wether he considers to integrate any of the 'safe' virtual machines (JVM/MONO/etc.) into the kernel to gain some extra performance.I mean, they are small pieces of code, they garantuee safety against memory-corruption/etc., so why not run them in real-mode?
