I'm scared from the possibility of linux going the same way... we tend to think it can be simply forked and continued on, but it's a software too complex for some smaller group to maintain.
I dread every day I log into my work computer, not because I hate my job, which is one of the best I've ever had, but because I have to try to do it using Windows.
At least you aren’t having to manage your windows install. I feel for corporate IT departments having to figure out how to disable so much and still keep the OS running.
