Industry loves standards. They provide common tools, common interfaces,
common building blocks and common understanding. They make life
easier. They provide a framework for innovation. Linux is fast becoming
the industry standard for embedded systems.
Putting pieces together is what design is all about. Putting together
large, more complicated pieces (as with Linux) is just as rewarding and
just as challenging as putting together simpler pieces. The difference is
that you end up with something more sophisticated, more quickly.
