Vista & Ageing Gracefully

[nickc]

I believe there is a fix out there somewhere for this but I found this very funny. I was copying some photos to a CD using Vista itself, and it took ages. However the time on the progress indicator was funny in itself:

This was the worst one and it varied wildly. I think this was about 135 years to complete! At that rate I'd have to leave the copy process to my children in my will..."all my worldly goods, and CD burn process running on my PC"...

It's never been accurate in Windows for as long as I can remember! You'd think they would have fixed it by now.

In my experience, it's more stable/realistic in XP. Vista dialogue box just sits there like a dumb ass half the time scratching its head :clown:
