I disagree. I use Win98 on my home computer. I bought it back in 1999. Never had to reinstall windows. I keep Anti-Virus and anti-Spyware updated and regularly run the system maintenance problems.

Of course, here is what I find on my friends computers when they ask me to see what is wrong with it:
Anti-virus definitions that are over a year old
No anti-Spyware
30-40 programs that auto-start on boot.
10's of megs of temporary internet files.
Temp files have never been cleaned
What is DEFRAG?
Scandisk finds all sorts of lost files.

Your computer is like a car. You have to maintain it if you want it to run properly and last a long time.

Of course, neglect it and it does make good business for the computer stores!


He always said if Windows had not been reformatted and reinstalled in over 30 days it was overdue.
