1. As we know, Android is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices,which is also one of the dominant OS in this fast-growing mobile industry, do you think it will become the "next Linux" in this area?
2. Can the fact of Linux-oriented initiatives becoming more and more in mobile area mean that Linux will become the key computing technology in the mobile industry?
这一章蕴含了作者不少思想,也带来我们不少疑问。有几个相关的问题是社区最近对作者的访谈中提出的:
1. In the book, you put forward the interesting The Three Systems of Man, and pointed out that Linux is both the second and the third system. What about the evolvement of Linux presently? Has it met the standard of the third system?
2. You once predicted that Unix would be the world’s operating system of choice and Linux would most likely become the version of Unix that fulfills the prediction. As we saw a decade later, the development and adoption of Linux differed in enterprise and desktop domains. What do you think of the prediction now?
3. You devoted much space of the book to criticize CUI, but CUI is already taking the leading role in today’s computer system. How do you understand this situation?
3.In this book, you carried a lengthy critical commentary on CUI, but CUI is already taking the leading role in today’s computer system,for example the apple-initiated touch screen CUI on mobile devices. How do you decipher this kind of situation?
