I'm still amazed at how quickly things go these days. Not so long ago reinstalling windows was a good couple of hours or so, and then god knows howlong downloaiding updates on a shitty slow connection.
Now it's less than 15 minutes using a USB 3 memory stick, an SSD and my stupid-fast broadband and I'm all setup, updated, Chrome installed (and synced to my previous settings/extensions). And now I can change my desktop picture!!?!!!!":"111
I've recently fixed to Windows 7 computers and they took aaaaaaaaages to complete all the updates. The install was quick both times (twice on the last one - I reinstalled Win7 with the Aldi recovery partition, switched the computer off, plugged the HDD into mine to copy the stuff back and when i plugged it back in the drive was completely empty) but the updates needed lots of reboots and time.
