Ever year, Linus Torvalds goes on vacation to Australia, during which he usually also visits linux.conf.au. During his stay this year he gave an interview to ComputerWorld, in which he talked about the success of point releases and the important topic of file systems in Linux, which is quite an active field today with ext4 and Btrfs. He also gave some insights into why he switched away from KDE, moving to GNOME instead, and he shares his thoughts on Windows 7.

Using GNOME is not one of the best experiences around, but after KDE devels chose to break the whole thing apart, it gaves us no other mainstream choices on the desktop.
I do find that GNOME issues are far more easy to fix to regain users' happiness about their requests, than KDE4.0 becoming any sort of desktop killer any time soon. KDE4.0 a plain SHOT on right on the foot. It's starting to hurt now, and you will halt your walk slowly.
