Who uninstalls and reinstalls programs on a regular basis? Why would anyone need wipe their drive then reload Windows from a DVD, then download and install hours of updates? That sounds like a major waste of time, especially if you require a shit ton of programs.
If you believe you'll need to reinstall at some point, wipe your drive, install Windows, update it, install your programs, then make a safe Desktop Image using a program like Paragon or similar. Save the image on an external drive and re-image as necessary.
