These are just some of the questions answered by Linus Torvalds, in a series of exclusive interviews with Pia Hekkila, fellow Finn and silicon.com senior reporter (http://www.silicon.com/goto-Linus-st ).
She spent a day with the normally publicity-shy Finn at the Santa Clara offices of his current employer, chip designer Transmeta.
Over the course of Linus Week, silicon.com will publish an Agenda Setter video interview (http://www.silicon.com/a44362 ) as well as video and text personality pieces, explaining what makes the man tick.
We will also reveal Torvalds' answers to a series of reader questions about the future of Linux, Windows and life outside high-tech.
Many controversial comments have been leaked from Torvalds' upcoming autobiography, Just For Fun. Not only will silicon.com be serialising this book (http://www.silicon.com/a44353 ), released on 15 May, but we are also offering our readers copies at the discounted price of £16.20 (http://www.silicon.com/linusweek/book.htm ).
