I don't know what you do with yours that requires you to reinstall it every 6 months.
Apache server, gaming serverice, any use of any type of service typically and slowly degrades the OS. Constant drilling of the registry is annoying all in itself; not to mention the required defrags. Uninstalling unfriendly program installs and just dealing with a bazilllion native secuity issues.

All I can stand using windows for, is gaming and word processing. I would like to use it for my programming, 3d animation, muisc, art, etc..

Basically, yaknow.. using my computer.

not to mention the illegal actions take by Micro$oft to protect thier product and other products that may be installed on their systems. Allong with their shoddy formed GUI and clumsy use of resources.

God I could go on, but I think you get my drift.
