Actually no. To keep the OS from causing any errors it is strongly recommended to reinstall windows 1 or even twice a year, depending on how much work the machine does. This basically keeps the rgistry and all programs clean and functioning. That is on top of checking your virous scanner is up to date, defraging and scan disk the HD and checking over all hardware componets for anything that might cause an error. Also keeping uptodate with firewall patches.
You can keep up to date with MS OS patches but doing so could easily disrupt or change some part of the OS to stop some applicatiosn from working correctly(MSEULA)(also same affect with AV patches I.E. mcafee)
I.E. wmplayer.
As for me i'm generly am using Linux. no ms OS whatso ever!

Actually, whenever windows problems come up this is the only way to fix them. In fact, this is how a windows support line would respond. They could have every call to ms support forwarded to a machine that says "format disk and reinstall crap." I think this would actually be an improvement to the company.

well. no. i am not. the software that i HAVE to use for windows is written like shit, and causes the os to die. Now, if windows were more modular like osx, and the software self contained, and no fucking registry, i probably wouldn't have to reinstall.

Windows used to be easier. Remember Windows 3.11? Just put shit into a folder, and when you don't need it, just get rid of it without the fear of some register errors, or "spyware/trackers" in your register left over.
Also, at my school, they teach us to back-up the register. What kind of a stupid idea is that? The register is at many times the reason to FORMAT C:.
