The future is mobile. That much we know for sure. But it seems that the operating system world in this market is being rapidly taken over by --again-- Microsoft. The new smart phones are are using WinCE, Symbian or Palm. Linux has barely 1% of this new, smartphone market.

Linux is not a business, it's not a product, it has no mission to destroy or compete with Microsoft or anyone else.
It's simply a resource that is expanded and refined over time that people use to solve problems. They are using it now to solve the problem of buggy or expensive OS's and expensive workstations and servers and supercomputing clusters.
They will use it again to solve the next problem.
There is no CEO to push Linux into new markets because that's not what it's about. There are no "missed opportunities" for Linux, only new problems to be solved by those who wish to try.
