How often do you re-install Vista?

Lol, reason why it takes me 4 hours is because I have every driver, file, and app saved locally, then I just update it :D

The only time I re-install any OS is when I have a problem that can’t be fixed no other way but through an OS re-install; and even then, I look for other solutions before re-installing.

I've had an XP machine running for a little over 2 years before doing any kind of OS re-installs. I've had Vista x64 up and running for about a year before I had to do a recent re-install, and that’s because SP2 didn’t like my V-lited Vista install :mad:

Bottom line for me...I hate OS re-installs and will try to avoid them like the plague.
