First I never said or implied doing it every release. Also, I like to assume everyone would install and uninstall properly well before posting about how 12.6 sucks. Reinstalling windows is a last resort and obviously should be looked upon that way. If u have tried every way of getting ur reg back in order and they are still borked, then clearly you only have one option left.
It is well worth buying an ssd (especially with the prices dropping) just as a boot drive and nothing else. Keep all downloads/programs/drivers located on your second hard drive, that way, when u need to reinstall windows, it takes a short amount of time to get up and running again. Takes me less that an hour to get everything situated and up and running again as I had it prior to the reinstall
The amount of time spent searching for help, complaining and trying to fix ur registry is equal or grater than that of reinstalling
