For years it has been struggling to figure out how to calculate how long our copy and delete operations would take, sliding the progress bar back and forth in a seemingly random, haphazard way, the laws of time all but ceasing to exist — five seconds remaining one moment and 13 minutes the next. That's (almost) all going to change, with the arrival of a greatly improved file management experience in Windows 8. Copy, move, delete, rename, and conflict resolution are all being overhauled and it's about time!"

You can copy files in Vista? I've never had the system stable long enough to try that.
Windows really does that? (Score:5, Funny)
Wow, I guess I am out of touch with windows flaws. I quit running windows back at windows 3.1.
Ill stick with Linux until windows is ready for the desktop. ;P

Yeah Microsoft can't fix a feature that works fine in most other OSes so they remove it entirely. Great work guys. Great work.
