Chris Hernandez, a Microsoft Software Engineer, posted data on his blog tracking the time for both a 32-bit and 64-bit install for 3 different kinds of hardware and 3 different kinds of users. Most of the install times are totally reasonable but the Super User took the longest times.
The Super User has 650GB of data and 40 programs to be transferred, and apparently that in itself disqualifies it from testing with low-end hardware. But a 32-bit installation of this scenario on mid-end hardware has a listed time of 1220 minutes, or just over 20 hours. Even the best case scenario with the Super User is looking very slow, estimated at 8 hours.
If everyone cared and nobody cried,
If everyone loved and nobody lied,
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
Then we’d see the day when nobody died.
Even a small no of COMITTED people can change the WORLD
