Open source instigator Linus Torvalds speaks with Charlie Rose in a very interesting interview about the past, present, and future of Linux and technology. Quote from Torvalds: “To get where Bill Gates is today, he needed to be the business guy who knew about technology. I was the technology guy who had no clue about business.”

It’s an old interview wasn’t it ?
There is only one date written in this page, at the end of the article: November/December 2001.
So, I guessed is a new one.
Seems like Linus has a more realistic view of Linux on the desktop than do most of his followers.
The one thing most people don’t understand with Linus, is that he doesn’t care about any other OS’s. And paricularly doesn’t give a rat a*s about MS. So why do people asking him what he thinks about 1, other OS’s, and 2, about MS?
