Re:One problem machine out of many installs (Score 1)

If enough people ran Solaris, you WOULD have viruses and bad software, it's just a matter of time. Plus the amount of time and labor to rebuild Solaris is only like ten times the amount to wipe and reinstall Windows so your problem would have to be pretty bad to have to do a complete reinstall. I've never had to reinstall a NT with the exception of replacing a motherboard. If you aren't a total noob then you wouldn't have either. Noobs get a mac, they're very noob friendly and no one codes viruses for them either. Or maybe Vista, because they make everything as hard as it can possibly be for people who know what they are doing and take away as many options as they can.
