Latest pet peeve department: I know many of you have heard me gripe about this problem. I have finally decided to begin my drive to ask Microsoft^® to remove a "feature" from all of its currently supported operating systems. Everyone knows that the time estimates for file copying in Microsoft Windows^® can only be counted on for one thing... that it is WRONG. Estimating that a copy of files will take 300,000+ minutes (yes I said minutes -- do the math) and it turns out that the copy takes less than 10 minutes is not only irritating -- IT IS USELESS. In addition to that, this USELESS "feature" uses system resources. As systems and disk drives have gotten faster and faster, this time estimate has gotten worse and worse and worse. If you would like to see this feature removed, let me know. I don't even want to suggest that they fix it, since it has been broken for SO long, I doubt it can be done without negative affects on the rest of the operating system.
