Where's the option for 6-12 months, lol? Last re-install 1/14/2012, still pretty snappy on my aging i7 920. Is it four years old now? Man, time flies...

put Windows 8 on the day it was available from Technet. gonna see how long I can go wtihout a reinstall.

You never need to reinstall Windows 8 it is a superior OS with built in functions to factory reset it, or restore system files without effecting any of your programs, its simply the best OS ever created!

I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x64 a short time ago.

Pity the choices in the poll start at 1 month, so I cannot vote.

I *think* I reinstalled in May 2011. It's been over a year. I'll probably reinstall when I upgrade to an SSD sometime this year.
