With windows, the big problem is that a "clean" install isn't just a clean install of the OS, but also of ALL the apps one is using that has to be reinstalled, including a "where the h... is that reg id" for this app or that.

So there is a lot of work & reconfigurations to be done along with a clean install of windows. Of course, this all depends on how one uses a computer.
