yeah
Actually it's 7 in the last 30 months. For the last 5 it's a much bigger number. I have bought at least 8 laptops in the last five years. Need at least two at any time to have one to work on while the other gets updates, patches and reboots. Guess you don't do application development, huh? Any developer knows that you can't completely test the code on the same box as the development tools because there are too many DLLs (OCXs etc.) that the development tool replaces that are probably much different (or absent) on an OEM system.

Regarding DLLs, they can be anywhere and they can be easily spoofed. How do you think most trojans work?
