You got me there; this is one of the things I detest on Windows.
Windows:
New install, update, reboot, update, reboot, update, reboot, update, reboot...
* 6 hours later *
Install driver... reboot... repeat 7 times or so
Install program... (possibly reboot)... repeat ad infinitum
* Another 8 hours later *
Shit I'm tired...
Linux:
New install
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (and/or dist-upgrade if required)
* 20 minutes later *
apt-get install firefox thunderbird gimp inkscape.... <enter>
Then get some coffee and read a book
