Estimated Transfer Time Is No More In Windows 8

[wraggster]

Ahh, the Windows Explorer progress dialog. For years it has been struggling to figure out how to calculate how long our copy and delete operations would take (http://www.extremetech.com/computing/93822-windows-8-explorer-to-feature-improved-copy-move-delete-and-conflict-resolution), 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!
