I once Windows 98 installed for 6.5 years :/

I've had Windows XP installed on one machine for 2 years.

On average though, I install every 6-12 months.

My current install was installed on 10/21/2005 (recently).

I reckon my current install is about 18 months old. That's the longest i've ever had one installation. I really can't be bothered with regular reinstalls any more and it doesn't seem like its getting too slow.

5 months. My average reistall is about every 6 months. I think it's going to be different this time. I used to install everything in one huge bunch. But now I'm installing things when I find that I need them. I've only installed about 40% of all the software that I own and things are going great. :)

Probably about 9 months. Actually, ive been meaning to reinstall for about 4months, just always seem to have things on the go, and never enough time :/

Mine's at about 3 months right now, but I want to reinstall to get rid of a bunch of crap, although I'll probably wait a while yet. Usually I do it every 6 months or so...

Well, mine is 24 hours old :angry:

one of my raid drives died sunday evening after 2 1/2 years. Beats me....everything

was kicking along fine, then everything all of a sudden just SLOWED down and it

froze up. When I rebooted, the raid screen said drive (1) was "abnormal".

I tried to fix it but the drive just flat out died. Oh well....I probably needed to reinstall

everything. After 2+ years, I can hazard to guess how much crap was in/uninstalled

Ya know, there is something to be said for a FRESH install of XP :woot:

:alien:

System Up Time: 7 Days, 7 Hours, 14 Minutes, 15 Seconds

Processor(s): 1 Processor(s) Installed.

I have just formatted the computer over a month now and my ZoneAlarm did not detect any intrusion attempt... I wonder if ZoneAlarm is working properly...

0 Intrusions have been blocked since install

0 of those has been high-rated

Can anyone confirm if ZA is working or it is wrecked?
