Torvalds Hasn't Given Up On Linux Desktop Domination, Will 'Wear Them Down'

itwbennett writes: Linus Torvalds told attendees at the Embedded Linux Conference on Monday that although Linux hasn't dominated the desktop like it 'has in many other areas,' he isn't particularly disappointed but also hasn't given up on that goal. 'I actually am very happy with the Linux desktop, and I started the project for my own needs, and my needs are very much fulfilled,' Torvalds said. 'That's why, to me, it's not a failure. I would obviously love for Linux to take over that world too, but it turns out it's a really hard area to enter. I'm still working on it. It's been 25 years. I can do this for another 25. I'll wear them down.'
