But it must not fail in a way (as long as the hardware is OK) that you have to reinstall everything. There must always be a way to repair it without loosing applications or data. If there is no way, than it is not an OS you can use if you want to do "mission-critical" applications! Fullstop! Exclamation mark!
But with the m$ registry shit there are a lot of possibilities to get some kind of dead lock where your way is the only way out. I'll never understand how anybody can take such a situation as "god given" or something else. It is simply a sign of bad written and implemented software or a very bad structural design. And this is the basis for your daily work? Would you build a skyscraper on a sand dune?
