Linux is the gift that is going to keep on giving for years to come. At least a windows box can be usually fixed. Good luck getting a vendor that went out of business 3 years ago to help you.
I wouldn't call "re-install" a fix, no matter for how many years now it *has* been the only reliable fix. But I am happy for your enthusiasm, and I will try not to be so smug. Really.

Not a fix at all, especially if you have a highly configured computer and many programs.
Amazing how Windows users can thump their Chests like a silverback Gorilla, about an OS so terrible that starting over again is even considered good advice.
Although I know a few who bought a whole new computer because of a virus. I wonder if they replace the engine every time they need to change oil?

Now you're just being silly. We replace the car since you never know if any of the oil managed to get out and stuck to something else.
Gotta think ahead. That's why linux users will never see their year on the desktop.
