I suspect that that was a Dell tech-support 
screw-up and not a fault inherent in the PC 
structure.  I have been using IBM/PC gear since 
1985, and have NEVER had to reinstall any 
software save for hard-drive crashes -- and I've 
only had four of those over all those years (only 
one loss of data, and that was unimportant:  I 
always back up my data!  And Wolfenstein 3D:  I don't have the disks for 
that.)
