I do it for a living. A reload presents all kinds of ways for things to go wrong. One time, I reloaded a client's box and backed up all her stuff- like 20gigs. Then she said, "Did you get my fonts?" No, I didn't get her fonts. It's not included in a standard backup. Another dude is unable to log into his MSN Explorer unless I bring MSN Messenger up to date and he has got to have that working or he's lost. One icon out of place and some people are all but emasculated.
I give my clients impeccable service and I will return to fix problems at no additional charge. The aforementioned are examples of things that can be avoided by option not to reload.
