Well I've done it. I've installed vista, which took 30 mins, installed all drivers, which took another 30 minutes, installed some programs which didn't need restarting, another 30 minutes, and now just left with Adobe CS3 Web Suite, Office 2007 ultimate and Visual Studio 2008.
All of this will be done in 5 hours. Right, lets track this, it's now just gone 12am, and I started installing @ 10.30pm. So 1 hour and a half so far. Just got to restart, for the 1st time, to finish installing the drivers and windows updates. After that, install Adobe CS3, Office 2007 leaving Visual Studio for tomorrow, it likes to restart when it installs .net 3.5.
Anyhow, it will take me about 5 hours to do all of this, along with watching some TV.
6 hours if you include the 2 games I install, FS2004 + BF2142. All in all, I've got this reinstalling vista down to a fine art.
I can do it on my mum's laptop in about the same time, but the laptop is 5 years old and vista really doesn't like that, mind that's without VS 2008 and the games
I'm that good.
