Compare that to my experience: I was working from home and it was my lunch hour, vive box came in the mail, opened it up, plugged in three cables, downloaded a steamVR update (a minute or two and then possibly a 5 minute restart for the drivers IIRC), Zip tied the lighthouses to my wall, ran the setup, put on the goggles and went "oh wow VR is actually way cooler than I ever thought"

I am on Windows 7 though
