Exactly. Some elderly friends just had a problem with a cheap refurbished Windows machine they were sold. I spent 3 hours last Thursday checking that PC and proving that it was (extremely) faulty. They got their money back and were given an old Vista machine by a friend. It then took me all of Sunday and Monday to clean up the Vista machine, solve the issues it had (they had no disks so I couldn't just wipe and reinstall), then load their backups and convert their mail and contacts to import.
I got back last night to find that Outlook on my own PC had developed a problem. Took me another hour to clean that up and set compacting the mailbox going, which has only just finished, having run for 24 hours, limiting what I could use the PC for today.
My Chromebook is looking more and more attractive. Again, I did all my work on it today.
