6May09 Windows 7 Installation Time

On my lunch break, I decided to install Windows 7 on my HP xw4600 Workstation at work.  I am now dual booting, Windows 7 and Windows Vista, just in case I have compatibility issues, I can go back.  The biggest thing that struck me was I went from DVD Insert to Windows 7 Desktop in 14 minutes!  Windows XP and Windows Vista took much longer to complete the installation.
