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.
