Those estimates are very true.
I've been upgrading some Vista machines to Windows 7 Enterprise for a couple of weeks now...some it has taken 7 to 10 hours...others just a couple of hours.
Most of my machines are all on XP, so no direct upgrade there (and not planning on it for a long time), but the Vista machines, although it takes a long time, it is very worth it. Windows 7 - even just upgrading (sans clean install) has been turning some slow dogs into very fast workstations.
I will add that clean installs are normal in time...30 minutes or so.
