New PC Build...
Just got a new "Work" PC from my employer. I keep getting asked from the IT guy "When will you return the old PC?".. I keep responding when I get around to finishing the build of the new one.
Why does it take so long? I took a run-through of all the stuff I have installed/available on the system. The list is below. This doesn't include Office in the list, but the Full Office w/ Frontpage, Publisher too.
It's not always the time to install it's the time to track down some installation keys, etc. Nice companies like VMWare allow you to retrieve your keys from their web sites for my profile. Others are a complete pain. One great tool I use is ApexSQL Diff. But I can't find the damn key for the installer.
