Well... I suppose it depends. I have too poor "standard" desktops with Windows 7 for more than 2 years (I think one of them will be 4 years old this New Year and the other six months else, more or less). No maintenance aside of free anti-virus when I purchased it. My previous desktops died with Windows XP (as they were born I think six or seven years previous)... and changing from a computer to the next I only have a problem with a very specific hardware.
And the comment "try Linux" doesn't work, I did it... and cygwin is enough for my needs
At the end, it's the own experience which matters.
