Hell, it's not like it doesn't already take Windows 7 more than just a couple of minutes to boot, even from an internal harddrive, at least on my machine. Taking a couple minutes to boot Linux from a USB drive wouldn't be a big deal for me at all. (Of course, first, I'd have to get a newer, more suitable USB drive.) And just a few seconds after being actually installed would be nice

One of those updates was a fucking "rollup."
