Linus has been going crazy with Linux and its production of new items. People have been wondering if this has been to fast or if he’s doing what he has to do to survive. Here’s a couple reasons straight from the site, explaining exactly why he can’t slow down.
”Yet Torvalds can’t let off the gas, for two reasons. First, Linux can’t afford to fall behind technically, or it’ll lose ever-demanding business users. The new kernel, for example, has hooks to take advantage of the latest virtualization capabilities embedded in Intel and Advanced Micro Devices processors. Second, Linux needs to feed its developer community. New features keep coders from getting bored and moving on to other projects, and they attract new talent as coders age or drop out of the process.”
I came across this website and found it to be pretty interesting, because most OS like Microsoft and others, take their time in getting out new products, and Linux is completetly the opposite. Do you think that having Linux an open source has anything to do with Linux being forced to move as fast as it does?
