The Vista Team Blog has an interesting article on Vista's installation routine, more specifically on how long it takes to install Vista. "PC World got the conversation going on installation times in Windows Vista. While they quote Jim Allchin that Windows Vista can take as little as 15 minutes to install, my installs have been more like 20 minutes (still rocking fast), so I thought I would talk with David D'Souza who manages our Deployment and Installation team to get some more information about the different deployment scenarios and their installation time."

Beat the drum as often as you want. Software in todays modern world is often. Tied to the OS, downloaded and activated via the internet. Its just not easy to update a software anymore.
Interestingly many are reporting that programs installers not working on vista...so currently the only way to have them working is upgrade.
Finally just for fun while you have your drum out, most people, and I do mean most people find it an awful lot easier; less time consuming especially is your simply not adept as some. Those that can't upgrade a graphics card or wipe spyware of there machine...who is still on internet explorer or using norton antivirus. You know normal users.
