I had to reinstall Vista last week because of a crippling virus, or pile of viruses, depending which of the malware scrubbers you believe. There are upsides and downsides to this. The downside is that I lost whatever it is that I forgot to back up. So far, the only thing that I've realized that I forgot was my archived instant messenger logs from the past couple of years.
The other downside is that the whole process is kind of a lengthy ordeal, but that small downside is outweighed by the feeling of accomplishment at the clean, fresh desktop that comes at the end of the fight.
It also means I had the opportunity to search through untold piles of archived CDs from the past several years.
