Bill,
I guess you don't have an SSD in those machines. I did an upgrade and it was done in less than 20 minutes.
Walter,

>If you and I delivered apps like this to our clients we'd be out of business.
>I did two upgrades- once for my laptop- a very fast Dell- and once for my desktop, a real Dell blazer.
>I finally went to sleep while the laptop process ran. It had been running for over 4 hours.

>The desktop was faster, but not much.

>In each case, the process just paused in place for as much as an hour with no indication of what was happening.
>If any of my apps pause for a much as two seconds, I give some kind of indication of what's happening, because clients get jittery and start pressing buttons that cause problems.
>The progress % values bear no relation to the actual times elapsed vs the time remaining.
>They're not even close.
>Why bother?
>They'd be better off just showing moving dots, or something like that, but really.. can't they get that right???

>At least 3 reboots were required each time.
>These are the people that make the OS.
>Can't they figure out a way to get an OS installed without 3 reboots?
>I ran a Unix installation for 10 years and rebooted that sever twice all that time.
>Imagine delivering an app that required 3 reboots and then trying to collect from a client.

>The reason that Apple is killing them in the marketplace is that no one at MS is demanding perfection.
>Good enough is good enough.
