 Q&A: Linus Torvalds, inventor of Linux

" I've felt strongly that the advantage of Linux is that it doesn't have a niche or any special market, but that different individuals and companies end up pushing it in the direction they want, and as such you end up with something that is pretty balanced across the board.
I continue to feel that the desktop is interesting, because it's how I personally have always used Linux, and what I myself have been interested in. It's also the technically (and marketwise) most challenging area, which makes me appreciate it all the more. And clearly there is a lot of budding interest in the area from the commercial players."
