If this is a survey, my experience was basically the same. I made a clean
install and as far as I can tell everything is ok. However, I have not
made the check between the full backup and the current configuration. My
point in the previous post is that this rarely happens, in my experience.
Its not a matter of "quality shops" but rather of the volitality of the
windows hardware/driver market (or the price you pay for an open hardware
architecture). I administrated Compaqs for a small insurance company and
almost without fail every two months the same computer had different
hardware or drivers or both.
