The founder of the Ubuntu-project talks in an interview about the integration of proprietary drivers, the One Laptop per Child project, and 'great applications' from Microsoft. "I certainly would not push the large IT companies to put Linux on consumer PCs, because I understand that in their business, the cost of a user accidentally getting Linux, thinking that they get cheap Windows would be a problem for the companies selling the computers. So I don't think it is really ready yet for mass consumer sales of Linux on desktop."

That's this guy's interview style. It's the same in all of these derstandard pieces. He wants the subject to admit they were wrong, and when they don't, he continues at it, as if they'll break down and confess the alleged failures.
What a lousy style. I think it would be foolish to sit for an interview like that. It comes off more like an National Enquirer article. I've never heard of derstandard, and based on this interview, I'm glad!

As a high-profile figure, you have to be gracious and polite at these interviews, but if I were Mark (or Miguel, who got this sort of treatment as well), I would never sit for another interview with this guy. Who does he think he is? Barbara Walters?
