I downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2013 Profession Trial on my Windows 7 64-bit computer ( RAM is 6 GB). But, when I start it for the first time, it says 'We're getting things ready. Thanks for your patience' and its been on for about an hour.
Is this normal with VS 2013?
EDIT 1: I left my computer running the whole night, and by morning it had re-booted. After the re-boot, VS 2013 seems to be starting quickly. So, its hard to say why Visual Studio 2013 was taking hours to start up the first time.

To avoid extending startup time, Visual Studio loads extensions using an on demand approach. This behavior means that extensions don't open immediately after Visual Studio starts, but on an as-needed basis.
On the "Installing Visual Studio" screen, select the option for . NET Desktop Development. The installation uses up to 12 GB of space; please be extremely patient. The installation will normally take between 30-60 minutes, but it may be more depending on your internet connection.
You might have extensions installed that slow Visual Studio down. For help on managing extensions to improve performance, see Change extension settings to improve performance. Similarly, you might have tool windows that slow Visual Studio down.
If the loading is taking a long time, Alt+Tab to find a login page hidden underneath the "We're getting things ready" window. Enter your Microsoft account credentials.
