The fix is normally a complete reinstall of the standard operating environment (i.e Windows + apps) on the box. I don't think many running Linux on their desktop do that kind of stuff (I certainly don't).

Indeed not. On Linux you simply restart Firefox and maybe the odd GNOME app every month or two, and you're flying again. (Even Linux can't withstand 300 MB memory leaks without swapping...)

I have never understood why Windows users put up with that reboot/reinstall crap.
