We won't see it because we were there when it happened. Since nothing (in practical terms, not talking theoretically or anything here) can move faster than the speed of light, the earth will never catch up with the light emitted by the Big Bang, because it's moving in the same direction as we are (and every other direction as well), but at a higher velocity (light speed).
I say to the MicroSerf whiners, if you want press release fluff and pictures of your Fuhrer Bill, then go to >ZDNet or something, they are more than willing to pucker up and kiss his arse.
Kiss his arse? Maybe a kiss like the kind the Alien (ie from the movie Alien) gives.
More likely rip him a new one, as ZDNET Anchordesk does about every second day.

Seattle WA (USA) has a law in place which makes it illegal for teens and adults to congregate for recreational activities in the same facility, known as the Teen Dance Ordinance (TDO). It rings of this very idea to the same extent. It'd be a real shame if people got so paranoid that they would start litigating or investigating online friends of their children. I'm 24, and have numerous online friends ranging in age from 12-60. I see the same kinds of fears perpetuated by fear-mongering media who don't take the time to do any real research, when it comes to reports of drug use at raves (a real concern for me, as a DJ and a talent promoter and record label owner).
I spend more time with people IRL now than before

That's just nutty. I'm extremely shy. But using the net, I've been able to get to know people in a "safe" environment, so that we were already close friends by the time we met for the first time.
Of course, now, I've just moved to a new town, and haven't got any friends here; all of my friends live 3000km away, at least...so the net lets me actually spend time with my friends, rather than simply abandoning them and spending my life in solitude as this study would suggest is best.
Whoever did this study has obviously never spent any decent amount of time on BayMOO

So the dev kernel should be business as usual for anyone moving to Linux from Windows, if crashes are commonplace.

Seems to me it's a case of Spi vs. Spi.
