haven't done a reformat since going from XP to Vista. before that used to do it pretty often, 1-2 times a year.

for me to do a reformat now would take a whole day just to setup everything like i'd need, move instant massengers' history, mail, setup properly various document locations, install and setup all the apps i use. on top of that, if you gonna do all that you might as well unhook your box and dust off everything inside - this needs to be done 1-2 times a year anyway.

for people whose systems are not on SSDs i can imagine computer getting slower over time - you need to run defrag once in a while.

only tool I use is CCleaner, my PC runs smooth and fast, like a brand new after several years and few upgrades. no issues.
