This is also in my experience tech support 's sop. Likewise if an app stops
running properly the sop is to uninstall and reinstall.
Finally, the os is known to get fubar 'd over time (registry gets polluted
for example), at least the 95/98/me line is like this and it 's considered
advisable to reformat and reinstall the os after a few years; the
degradation can be subtle but it 's thereand the improvement is generally
very noticeable after. And most casual windows users don 't know about
defragging which over time - well you can imagine. Unices defragging on
their own all the time is a tremendous leg up on the windows way of doing
things.
And then there 's the hidden files. :)
Sorry for the rant folks. I have 5 computers on my lan and they used to all
be windows but I only ever found real use for my workstation and my wife 's.
Now I 've got the other 3 running redhat 9, debian 3, and fbsd 4.8 and
they 're all busy doing stuff, which is like cool.
