Whoa... We've gone from:

Find problem in the system/fix it ---> Reinstall OS to fix problem ---> 
Replace machine and all is well.

MS Windows is like crack cocaine:

1.) Get a system on it and it's behavior is irratic and unpredicatable.
2.) Crack users require constant maintenance doses. Windows systems 
require constant service packs.
3.) A Crack user is like a windows system: High maintenance.
4.) Crack is expensive. So is Windows.
5.) Windows,  like crack, have things in it the vendor does not want you 
to know about.
6.) Ultimately, all crack users crash and burn. So do all Windows systems.

I suppose at this point I should steal a phrase from my 17 year old 
nephew: Windows blows.
