God, I hate reinstalling Windows. Whenever I see "Try reinstalling Windows" as a serious solution to some tech problem on the Windows forums I feel so irritated because to get everything back to how it was (*hopefully *minus the issue) is basically a half day to full day undertaking because of all the bloat and annoying settings I have to change.
Linux never annoyed me as much as long as I put my home directory on a separate partition, though to be fair, I didn't use it as much and was never quite as balls deep in custom settings and apps as with Windows due to Windows being a requirement for work.
