I started my Vista install late this morning. It's now almost 4, and its STILL installing! At least this time the installer was nice enough to inform me that it would take several hours, but I'm still surprised at how long this has been.
Btw, one bit of info that we've encountered installing this around the office: if you install Vista, and after putting in your license key it tells you that the installer had an error occur and must be restarted, and all subsequent attempts to install do the same thing, here's what you do: DON'T put in the license key.
I kid you not.
Just click continue, tell it that you dont' want to enter a key at this point, and it'll continue installing. Once installed, it will ask you again for it, and this time you can provide it without any error happening. But seriously...that's one of the silliest things I've ever heard of: an install key causing an error.
