You sure got THAT right. Windows can get MIGHTY stale and slow after even six months, depending on what you do with it. Mac OS-X, not so bad although somewhat. Linux/Unix, I don't see much slowdown even after a few years.

Reload once a year. I read that back when Windows 95 was out. I used to use Ghost to make an XP image for reloading. I need a newer version to make a Windows 7 image

Here’s another thing. I convince someone to let me reload XP, Vista, 7 for them. And of course they threw out all the CDs (DVDs)their shiny brand new computer came with years ago
