 |  How long have you been using the same Windows install? Open a Command Prompt (windows-key+r , type cmd, then enter) and enter this command: systeminfo | find /i "install date" Daily Workstation: Original Install Date: 5/11/2004, 0:19:01 Closing in on 4 years on my current XP install  File Server: Original Install Date: 19/08/2003, 6:36:20 Almost 5 year running

| I had an XP install last about 3 years, although that was because I used an image of the OS and ghosted it onto a new drive. That OS is no longer around, but I took this one off my previous desktop that replaced it. LINK I'll be lucky if I get an install of Vista to last just 1 year.
