Well, they’d be blown away if they ever tried a Chromebook then ;)

Yes, there seems to be some of that to it. But I was only half joking about the Chromebook. I’m starting to find it increasingly less fun to be spending time updating and troubleshooting my Windows machines and those of my loved ones.

And I do seem to come across people once in a while complaining about Apple updates messing up their machines as well. If I wasn’t so wedded to some of my Windows software and forced by my workplace to have to handle MS Office files on a daily basis, I’d happily switch to using the practically maintenance-free Chrome OS even on my desktop.
