is it true that the installation process is faster than xp?

Not so far, it isn't. -- Pierre Szwarc Paris, France PGP key ID 0x75B5779B ------------------------------------------------ Multitasking: Reading in the bathroom ! ------------------------------------------------

It varies, based on feedback and my personal experience its about the same or slower. Vista x64 took about 40 mins, Vista x86 took about 75 mins.
32-Bit system: 3.2 GHz HT Pentium 4 2.6GBs of RAM Geforce FX 5200 128 MB AGP 20 GB Partition
64-Bit system: 1.6 GHz Sempron 512 MBs of RAM Geforce FX 5200 128 MB AGP 20 GB Partition
So it varies very much depending on system and platform you choose. These are also staged builds which are said to be faster. I suspect by BETA 2 we should see some improvement in terms of performance for the install routine. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

It sure as hell is faster on my machine
AMD Athlon X2 64 3800+ 2GB RAM ....
I would say that the installation of the latest build of Windows Vista is about 50% faster than the installation of Windows XP Professional with SP2
