I haven't reformatted a couple of my xp machines in over 2 years.
They still run top notch. Diskkeeper automatic defrags, and an occassional disk cleanup are the only maintenance I need.
Don't install 50000 programs, and don't click YES on IE popups, and you'd be surprised at how well windows will run.
People blame windows for the problems....and though some of you may be offended, the truth is that 1/2 the time it's malicious programs, and the other 1/2 of the time it's user error.
