At the LinuxCon conference in Portland this week, Linux creator Linus Torvalds dropped a bit of a bomb when he said that the open-source kernel had not become the “streamlined, hyper-efficient kernel I envisioned when I started writing Linux” and instead was now “bloated,” “huge” and “scary,” according to reports.
Bloated, huh? So does that mean that Linux is starting to look more like Windows? Matt Asay, who writes the Open Road blog on CNET says that, yes, Linux and Windows are starting to show signs of resemblance.
I'm sure many authors would say the same if not compensated millions of dollars when comparing this to a book/movie deal! Open-source makes this quite unique and you need to...step-back a little.
