It's a fair point, but I don't see Ubuntu giving the elbow to other linux distros. Even if it does, the Linux community has a strong sense of exploration, and I think the fact that many people are constantly trying out new distros and moving on to the new 'hot' distro will keep compatibility problems at a minimum
Sure the government will take over the internet. It was bound to happen, since the internet is a danger to the society that is building. It will take a while, because as many have said, the internet is moving slowly, but there's a hell of a lot of force behind it. Eventually it will be turned into something similar to tv.
Here's the part where the no worries are involved. I believe that once it happens, the internet will just change forms and we'll have a new internet similar to this one. Whether it's rogue underground internets, or if it's a whole new system with new devices, it'll happen. As long as the need is there, we'll find a way to feed it.
The fascists are always a step behind.

It's not about when will Google/Mozilla replace Microsoft Office in usability. That's already happened.
The question is when the average Office user will realize it.
