Interview: Mark Shuttleworth (451 Group)

The 451 Group (an analyst operation) has done an interview with Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth; the first part of that interview has been published, liberally annotated with comments from the analysts. "For example, in the consumer space, people are very protective about the desktop, but they're not at all protective of the smart phone. So consumer adoption of Linux on the smart phone is enormous - people are absolutely willing to accept the idea that they might use new tools, new pieces of software, new user interfaces and so on, as long as you don't threaten certain key applications that they're comfortable with, that they know and trust."
