I gotta tell you .. I quite honestly can't remember the last time I
had to re-install Windows to correct Windows problems (as opposed to
re-installing because a hard drive died). If you're really having to
re-install Windows every 2 months, you really must be doing something
wacky to Windows. No offense, but Windows really isn't *that* fragile
(at least not for most people). I believe you, I'm just saying I never
heard or saw anyone who needed to re-install Windows anywhere near
that often. But maybe you do some esoteric stuff on Windows I never
saw ...

I used to use Evo years ago, on Mandrake. And that was before the
Exchange conduit. And it did the same thing to me ...
