What I don't understand is why they just don't "nuke & pave" -- completely erase the system & reinstall from scratch -- if they want to stay with Windows. It's a lot cheaper than buying a new one. Perhaps it's related to the fact that I believe that many of the cheapie (and not so cheapie) Wintel manufacturers don't even include a system CD with their boxes? At least one person in the article had the right idea -- she bought a Mac. Unfortunately, she's being overly paranoid & applying Windows precautions to our more secure platform.
