I agree. I was pretty much completely switched over to Linux, except for one gaming machine until my nephew bought one of those license packs for windows 7. Windows 7 works fine but I lose the fun of trying out the new distributions that come out all of the time.

Or you could be like me and get out of engineering and work in biotech where the work is much easier, less stressful and requires little overtime. I have to admit, it is nice to have a background in power electronics and get interview requests after being out of the field for 10 years. I guess SCR's did not change much after all.
