For what it's worth, I never had any problems with my Windows install -  
the only time I reinstalled was when I upgraded to newer versions (and I  
do that when I upgrade my hardware, incl. HDDs, anyway).

 From my experience of troubleshooting others' Windows computers, all the  
breakages come from badly-written applications (and installers), which  
overwrite system files or (sometimes forcibly) integrate themselves into  
every corner of the operating system, causing instability etc. This isn't  
a problem with Windows - its "problem" is that it's the most popular OS,  
for which so much bad software is written (not to mention malware).
