I can install my Linux distribution in 15 minutes or less, from booting the installation media to arriving at the newly installed desktop. From what I've heard, that's a little better than installing Windows. But that's the point, isn't it? It doesn't come pre-installed. If it did then it might be "killing" Windows the way the pre-installed Android is.
