At work I'm forced to use a windows machine (this email is for my 
business), maybe Phil doesn't have a choice.

It didn't keep me from removing outlook, installing Mozilla and making 
it my default browser/email client.
Re-installs for windows is a common technique to fix the gremlins that 
pop up after prolonged use.
It's a crappy OS, even if it is the most popular one :)  I have several 
machines (some virtual machines) of
different operating systems just so I can support them. 
Finding people with linux problems, that they can't fix themselves, is a 
bit harder than finding people with windows problems.
To be honest, I make more money supporting windows than linux because a 
lot of people have virus/spyware/corruption problems (grin)

I agree about non-windows re-installs.   I  had RH 5 boxes running for a 
long time, it wasn't uncommon to have them run a year between reboots.  
When I got newer hardware I upgraded.  I don't have a windows machine 
that lasts more than 5 days without a reboot.
No sense having a windows flame war.. you're preaching to the choir!
