Not my experience at all. I manage around 50-100 machines depending on the time of year and trade winds - been doing it for ten years. I've reinstalled Windows less than 5 times - I've done a fair share of repairs, many more than re-installs, but that saves all the settings and data. There are lots of good reasons to not like Windows, but it gets downright silly sometimes on these lists...


You are a lucky person. In my limited experience with Windows, a re-install has happened more than that. I did try the re-install but that was useless due to all the secondary applications.

Heck, even Steve Ballmer, CEO for Microsoft needs to re-install Windows when it gets to rough.

My biggest headache has always been registry problems.

But that is my experience.
