Just thought y'all would get a kick out of this: On my business laptop, I'm running Vista with an openSUSE 10.3 VM appliance.
Just hate that business thing..
I downloaded about 21G of files from our corporate network for me to use at home. I have a 500G USB drive here that I use to store stuff on.
That's a lot of work.. ;-)
Well, I copied the files and went to paste them on the USB drive in Vista. After about ten minutes, I noticed the progress bar was still calculating the time to copy and had a current estimate of 74 hours.
And therein lies the problem. You see, you asked Vista a hard question, and as it couldn't find the right answer, it was trying to make one up. Even that was hard for Vista to do.
I cancelled the process and fired up the VMWare session of openSUSE. I then opened up the host drive via smb and the usb drive. I started copying.
40 minutes later, the process was complete.
Go openSUSE!
Too bad you can't just delete the Vista and install openSuSE. Then maybe run Vista in a VM session..
