Have you guys tried out the RTM version of Vista yet? How long did it take to install?

When I installed the BETA builds, it took me at least 40 minutes. Whats disappointing about it there was no time remaining sequence which really bothered me. This Vista installation process is disappointing.

My installs are between 22 - 27 minutes depending on which build I installed. Build 5744 RC2 installed in 23 minutes. I'm curious as to why an install takes 40 minutes to the hours some have had to deal with. I agree with you that a 40 minute to hours install can be disappointing.

OpenSuse 10.2 beta 2 took the same time to install.

mine installs in ~15min if you dont include that stupid thing that takes forever when its doing its first boot. (doing performance checks or whatever)

Mine to is around 15 minutes for a clean install up to the point where it does the performance check.

RTM clean install took 13 minutes, and the upgrade from a (relatively clean) XP x64 machine took roughly an hour.

Your OEM?
