My opinion on installs is that they always suck unless I can now play the game from my hard drive and toss the disc into the furnace. That is why PC installs never bothered me.
I still prefer installs to disc swapping for the simple reason that I hate physical media. It's breakable, losable, scratchable, and an all around pain in the neck. Having to keep track of and maintain one disc is bad enough, why would I want 3 or 4?
It's not that I'm lazy or careless, but there is a reason ipods sell better than portable CD players. Let me have all my games on a hard drive, and let me back up those games to a small portable hard drive that I can boot from to play my games on other machines. Convenient, secure, fast and easy.
