Not so sure about that. I recently had the opportunity to re-install Vista from a recovery disk. It took an enormously long time, during which I passed through several black screens devoid of information. The computer sat there, with a black screen, for at least 20-30 seconds, if not 2-3 minutes or longer, giving no hint that it was doing anything.
Never mind a Windows Vista update, which involves the interminable wait for "Installing update xx of yy." I'd have reset the computer during one of those if a Google search hadn't warned me against it. I came across so many web pages asking for help with these interminable udpates, that I realized it's standard procedure for a Windows re-install.
People pay to be treated like this? Don't get me wrong: these things happen in Linux, too--but it isn't standard procedure, and I don't pay for it.
