You clearly haven't installed Windows recently, have you?

My stepson reinstalled his Windows XP installation a few weeks ago.  It 
took 3 freakin' days to get the system built properly, because the 
machine needed so many reboots for driver installations, updates applied 
to the system - and he couldn't install his wireless card driver until he 
plugged the machine into an Ethernet port to do the stupid "Windows 
Activation" bull.
