You gotta be kidding. Windows users do seem to think reformatting and reinstalling the operating system regularly is normal. Most people I know do it every year (like spring cleaning), but every three months... And even then, reality is most, if not all of us Mac users don't ever reinstall their operating system, and the majority probably doesn't even do it when there's a major system update. Same goes for all our linux boxes btw. Not every computer needs it, simple.
