Windows is about waiting an hour for it to install, then spending the next 3 hours updating drivers, security patches, and (gasp) the infamous SERVICE PACKS. That’s not counting time that needs to be spent installing all the software that makes it go to palatable then actually usable as a computer. 6 hours, I think, would be quite reasonable to get all the necessary apps up, if you’ve already got them downloaded or have a very fast pipeintertube. 

My next machine is hopefully another Mac, which will bring the count up to 3 in the house. I still have a rather new powerful desktop that I’ll upgrade to Windows 7 when it eventually gets released. I’m way too lazy to rebuild it as a hackintosh – keeping one working is nearly as bad as keeping Windows XP clean and fast. 

Maybe one day I will get a networked monochrome laser printer. That, together with the Macs would nearly be the ultimate setup – together with a shared dual-drive NAS for archives and backups. Of course, hopefully all the computers will have beautiful screens by then =)
