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... -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
