I've taken to simply running VMware in kiosk mode. Full-screen Linux desktop (cause life without xmonad...), no Windows in sight except via the "boss key" sequence. Then I get the benefits of using Linux, with the battery life, sleep/resume, drivers, etc. of using Windows. I'd love to not use Windows as a host, but life's too short for dealing with Linux on laptops. Despite how ThinkPads are great for it and stuff "mostly just works".
