Same here — though 16 years, not 25.

Have you ever actually used Linux? Instead of one big update, that takes forever, Linux updates come in small increments that only take a couple minutes to install. When a vulnerability is discovered, you don't wait for the monthly update (and use workarounds until that date comes), you'll usually get security update notification within hours. Even then you choose when to install it. I guess that's one of the other main reasons I like Linux — you completely control your own computer.
