    To all the people that have performed clean installs of the Vista RC1 build. Has microsoft delivered on the feature of FAST full install times taking less then 15 minutes from DVD. I found the early beta's took forever. Heston

      :wtf: Took Vista about 4 hours to install on a clean disk on my machine (not very powerful though).  Didn't even finish, got to the point where it rebooted to finish off (add users etc) and it continually crashed & rebooted, couldn't go into safe mode because it said it hadn't finished installing. Wiped the disk and retried, didn't work so I said f**k Vista lets put Linux back on.  Got a entire system of Gentoo 2005 up and running in 4 hours including updating quite a bit of it off the net (and that included a kernal compile ;P)


      Just Google it. Failing that try phoning :bob:
