I think Linux is the best bet for the long run, with one assumption: that IBM endows it with it's SMP maintenance system. Then language/tool vendors can work within that paradigm to distribute and maintain their products without our having to deal with versioning, dependencies and other maintenance/management headaches.
I think Linux is risky today because we build things for our customers, which is fine, but then down the road when any one of the unpredictable happen, they demand that we solve the problem, which we may not be able to do without considerable time and effort. But then I'm also betting that, sometime before our 10 years is up, we'll have something on the Linux side to port (as in native language conversion) our VFP applications to.
