Anyone care to write one for corporate IT? 🙂
----------------------------------------------
1. Call Help Desk and translate call consultant's script from (insert language here) while supressing laughter.
2. Get visit from tech who tries to fix your phone instead of your computer.
3. Call Help Desk back to correct information in trouble ticket.
4. Get an irate call from a director in a city 500 miles away stating a tech reimaged his workstation based on trouble ticket in your name.
5. Call Help Desk back to complain about trouble ticket information and get transferred to a supervisor named "Peggy" who speaks with a gruff manly voice.
7. Throw phone and quitely weep.

I as a windows user feel enraged that I am pictured as one who will reformat the harddrive if the reboot did not fix it!!!! It only happened to me 3 times, the other 2 times I called for help and they managed to convince me to buy a new computer instead, the first time, and the second time to buy a Mac, but I instead got a new computer again, not a Mac. I know I have the data still in my old computers, I just can't open them, but they are there.

I bet I'm not the only one who has windows on a small partition and all the files on another partition. With Win 7 is even easier to redirect all user folders (incluing desktop) to another partition.
If I format windows then all my files are automatically backed up.

And not only. Separate hard drives completely, for performance issues. Swap file, temp files, main windows folder, program files (and I mean where I chose to install it, not the default windows folder), and "my documents" too on a different drive (many games create massive folders in "my documents").
Each of those in a first partition (for the short strokes effect, and because the first partition is always faster), small enough and defragmented, big enough for easy defragmentation though. The rest of the data, that does not need performance, can hang in the second partitions.

Or go SSD and loose all the capacity.

I'm using Arch Linux, all up to date. Haven't reinstalled in more than 8 months now and surprisingly works exactly like day 1.

The funny thing is the motherboard from my old computer died and I had to buy a new computer since the other components were several generations back. So I kept the HDD and apart from the sound card drivers, everything -EVERYTHING- worked with the new components. It's the i686 version, mind you, not x86_64.

Also, I can't code to save my life and the kernel comes pre-compiled... Heck, Arch is considered a distro directed at competent users but ever since I set it up just the way I like it all I have to do is run "pacman -Syu" every once in a while to keep it up to date. Life's good.
