Most importantly, on a good system, a complete reinstall takes like 5-10 minutes, where it used to take an hour or more.
That's true, Wyndoze 10 and linux mint can both be installed from scratch in under 15 minutes (plus about 3 days for all the wyndoze updates!) then restore your files from backup. (I have stuff backed up on a NAS box and also an offline usb drive in case something nasty gets onto my network
