A conservative Linux distro choice is way more stable than Mac OS is in regards to "sudden" changes you need to deal with. And on the time scales we worry about CentOS or Debian, Windows has its pitfalls too.

In all cases, if you need a long-term strategy, it's always going to involve some level of preparedness to handle a change.

If you want to keep up with all the distros and their individual going-ons, that's your choice. You can use Linux just fine without doing so.

EDIT-that's-too-late-for-an-edit: To make the Windows example specific, there's a lot of companies that built their products on Windows 7 Embedded that would love to be on CentOS this week instead.
