My point was that Full Format takes MUCH longer in Vista than previous

No it wasn't. You made no mention of previous versions of Windows.
You just bitched about how it took longer than your Mac.

As a Pro I always full format anytime I install a new disk in a
Windows machine.

"quick format" and full format.
