I just set up a new VM to test IE9 in. From fresh install to working IE9 install + usual apps (flash, acrobat, Office etc. for fonts) took almost a whole day. Constant update after update, with restarts for each one. If you try and install an app whilst another installing, it doesn't queue, it just cancels itself, so you have to sit there and wait. Many updates to get the platform previews of IE working are hotfixes can't be installed for some reason (yep, even on a fully updated system), so had to give up trying to get the platform preview going (which was my main aim!). There truely isn't a package manager, or even any way of setting a list of things to install so you can leave the computer to get on with it. It makes you understand why so many people think they are "bad with computers", or say things like, "when I touch computers they break"...
