Don't you love it the ability to compile and run software on your hardware is controlled by a third party over the internet?

I sure love the SAAS future we are heading forwards.

I highly doubt corporate interests could eliminate linux. It just will be very difficult to use though no doubt.

I don't doubt it. At least on non-server machines. They might not even do it intentionally. When every new machine manufactured in the last 20 years has some kind of secure boot system that prevents "unauthorised" operating systems from being installed, what then? Are you just going to keep your laptop from 20 years ago?
