Microsoft Software Installs

Why do they almost always take ages? Example - I installed C# 2008 Express last week. This had to do some prereqs, such as installing .NET 3.5 and 2.0 SP1 and 3.0 SP1. Took ages. Yesterday, I installed Web Dev 2008. OK, so it wouldn't have to install the above prereqs so the install should be quick right? Think again. :(( Another example - compare the install times of IE 7, Firefox 2 and Opera 9? The latter two take seconds.

Look at this http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=529d992a-d69e-4c73-9213-7a7f3852c0ca&displaylang=en&tm[^] Please wait one hour after uninstalling a previous version of Windows Vista SP1 before installing Windows Vista SP1 RC Refresh. The installer service needs to clean up and complete the uninstall prior to installing the RC. Failing to do this can result in installation errors when installing the RC version. Whos gona update Vista?????? :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:

Well in the final situation who will be uninstalling a previous version of SP1? Only beta testers. Still, it's not very clever!
