True, but I think the main difference between Mac and the PC is that PC

My impression is that the author recommends clean installs for Windows and Macs
from time to time.
It sounds to me that this is personal preference.

However, I usually only reinstall Windows every few years and am so new to the

Respectfully, that sounds a little harsh.
