Well, I guess I don't talk to him much. I do recall seeing him pumping up linux on the desktop. He was talking about the need to get an office suite for linux. He mentioned that ?applix? was very good. Course, I bought it, and had a lot of trouble with it, (importing files) and they went out of business finally. That's what I mean by staying power. So, I don't know why Linus would talk up an office suite for linux if he didn't care about the desktop.
