And we're done! By my watch, the total installation took 39 minutes from launch to reboot. So here are some of the things that surprised me about this installation.
1) The original estimate was 1h 3m, but the actual time was 39m.
2) The progress bar actually meant something.
3) Did I mention that it actually took less time than was originally estimated?
Unfortunately, I forgot to see how much data was on the HDD before I upgraded, so I don't know how much space was recovered. After a quick run thru all my apps on the Dock, I can say that things do seem to be a bit faster than they used to be. I was a little freaked when the Mail configuration dialog box came up, but when I clicked Continue, it simply optimized my mail folders and brought up my mail just like always. Even my Vista VM seems to be a bit peppier. Meanwhile, Time Machine is running in the background, calculating the changes since my backup just prior to the upgrade.
Speaking of which, Time Machine has finished its calculations and is now backing up 8.49GB, which would probably be the installed footprint of Snow Leopard.
Overall, I'm very impressed. Off to spread the goodness to my MacBooks!
