Before #17: Windows 7 users: Upon entering fastboot and letting Windows choose your USB driver you must click on the update and choose SKIP WINDOWS UPDATE
Vista/XP users: Open the containing folder that has the new google drivers (e.g. google-usb-driver) and find android_winusb.inf
#23 you need to move the contents of \platform tools into the \tools folder (just so AdbWinApi.dll is in the directory)
after #28 you should have a disclaimer to not let your phone boot. immediately pull the battery or hold the button combination right away

That's about it only 4 hours to complete too!
