A few weeks ago I decided that my next laptop would not run Windows or Mac OS X. I've been maintaining servers and workstations since Windows 95 came out and I know it's a pain. Yes, running a Windows 7 or OS X Lion (or Ubuntu) computer takes much less effort than it used to. But after spending some time with smaller, mobile OSes on a Blackberry and an iPad, I've become more interested in nearly-maintenance-free-computing.
