As I noted in the other thread, I'm close to this point myself.  I avoid 
the 6mo "song-and-dance" by using LTS releases, but that very negatively 
impacts "the ability to stay current with applications." :-(

That fact that Bhaskar & I are both Ubuntu fans and we're both at this 
point is...interesting.  And perhaps non-optimal for Ubuntu...

Later,

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
