Any program is only as good as it is useful.

I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the "pay for use" binary shareware programs.

What I find most interesting is how people really have taken Linux and used it in ways and attributes and motivations that I never felt.

I'm not a big believer in revolutions. What people call revolutions in technology were more of a shift in perception - from big machines to PC's (the technology just evolved, fairly slowly at that), and from PC's to the internet. The next "revolution" is going to be the same thing - not about the technology itself being revolutionary, but a shift in how you look at it and how you use it.

It's a personality trait: from the very beginning, I knew what I was concentrating on. I'm only doing the kernel - I always found everything around it to be completely boring.

I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.

To be a nemesis, you have to actively try to destroy something, don't you? Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.
