Is Windows 7 A Real Step Forward?

Robert Cringely in his way analysis of the Windows 7 price has a nostalgic moment :

When Windows 95 was introduced (I was there, shooting Triumph of the Nerds), part of the Bill Gates and Jay Leno performance that day was upgrading a 486/66 machine from Windows 3.1 to Win95. It took about half an hour. With more modern processors, memory, disk drives, and a new OS touted as being lean and mean, why should Windows 7 take significantly longer than that to upgrade?
It shouldn’t, unless speed-of-upgrading wasn’t on the feature list to begin with.
