Torvalds On Where Linux Is Headed In 2008
The creator of Linux is excited about solid-state drives, expects progress in graphics and wireless networking, and says the operating system is strong in virtualization despite his personal lack of interest in the area.

Moving forward, the roadmap for the open-source operating system indicates a constant drive to add features, while maintaining quality and stability.

His responses touched on the Linux development process, upcoming features, and whether he's concerned about potential patent litigation.
