RE: Setup.exe

\K: And don't forget to format and reinstall from scratch your windows partition at least once a month!

You have to be fair. Some people only do this once a year. Of course their computer limps along after a month since Windows degrades itself so bad, but they just think it's because they haven't upgraded their computer during the last 6 months so Microsoft doesn't care.

In all seriousness. Setup.exe is the worst setup mechanism I've ever used. I have used Linux, BeOS, *BSD, Solaris, OS X, MacOS, QNX, and some other operating systems and all of their setup mechanisms are better (and less prone to leaving artifacts on the machine) than setup.exe. In my opinion of course.
