Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. Would really really annoy me, tough. If I reinstall an OS, I do it because I want a clean plate, everything back to "standard". Opening my old tabs in my browser tells me, that it kept various config/temp files, which is probably what I wanted to get rid of.
- msbarnett 14y agoIf you want to lose all of your user settings, create a new user account and nuke the old one. If you want to replace various bits of the system, reinstall the OS. These are different scenarios with different use-cases, and I'd argue it's a much worse idea to conflate the behaviours, as in certain other OSes, than OS X's fault for properly treating them as separate operations.
