Your comment is a bizarre and rambling non-sequitur. What on earth gave you the idea that winning the desktop battle is Linus' measure of success or leadership? Why does Apple breaking binary compatibility imply that there is no cost in doing so? How can you say Apple is only targeting elite segments when you look at products like the iPad that are selling in incredible numbers and causing low-end market leaders like HP to drop out of the market?

It seems like you have some bone to pick with Linus, because there isn't any real criticism here. Binary compatibility is a very nice feature for Linux users, you haven't written a word about why that is not so.
