I am just saying, I upgrade my OS when I see it convenient, not when I let my shit go awry (in my experience you really have to let your shit go bad).
Like this time for instance. Every once in a while you get a program that doesn't have uninstall information, so you have to try and uninstall it manually (but it still leaves gunk in your registry). I had hundreds of programs like that from when my mom still owned this computer (the only thing left from then is was the primary hard-drive, the motherboard, the case and the power supply.) so while I was wiping everything I went ahead and got a copy of vista. (and I always start from scratch, also, there has always been a new type of ram out every year)
While other people I know reload their OS every time they get a virus or a piece of malware.
