“Linus Torvalds told a packed house on Wedneday that the
future of operating systems will follow the current Internet trend
of personalization and customization.“
“Torvalds, speaking at Internet World, compared the open source
experience to tinkering with a car engine. While “some people just
don’t like tinkering with their cars,” he said that many will find
that the customization possibilities which open source software
presents will allow users to create a system which better fits
their individual needs…”
“Torvalds said he expects Linux to enter the market for embedded
systems, citing some initial successes such as Tivo running on
set-top box systems.”
